FOI, Rochdale Metropolitan Borough Council

Dear Dr Iqbal,

We are in receipt of your Freedom of Information request dated 16 June 2020.

The council is facing unprecedented challenges during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and as a result is diverting staff to essential service delivery. This means that there are fewer council staff available to carry out the usual day to day activities of the council.

We are therefore not in a position to prioritise your request for information at this time and must advise you to expect significant delays in response. We trust you will understand the pressing need to ensure that essential services are delivered as a priority.

It would be helpful if you could consider if your request is absolutely essential or if you would like to withdraw it to support the Councils efforts at this time. Your request will otherwise be placed in a queue and will be dealt with in line with other priorities once staff eventually become available.

It would help the Council if you could give the information on current events consideration before submitting any further requests. Thank you for your understanding in this matter and please avoid contacting us further about your request at this time, to help us to provide those essential services.

The information Commissioner has published helpful information on their website which supports the councils approach. https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/news-an...
