Dear Sir
I am writing to respond to your freedom of information request recently
received. This request has been handled under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000.

The response to your request is attached and below.
The Council will not release names and email addresses of members of staff
lower than third tier and consider this information to be exempt under
Section 36 (c)(2) Section 40(2) and Section 31 of the FOI Act and refer
you to ICO Decision notice FS50344341.  We believe that releasing staff
names and email addresses would undermine the channels of communication
and lead to a loss of time from the authority’s core functions, could lead
to the Council receiving more spam emails which would adversely affect the
Council through extra time and resources spent dealing with the emails. 
It is also likely that disclosure could lead to ‘phishing attacks’ or scam
emails which could cause disruption to services and further could breach
Data Protection law.
It is reasonable to expect that a public authority disclose information
relating to senior employees than more junior ones and a corporate
management structure is attached with contact details.  All senior
officers can be contacted via switchboard.
If you are unhappy with any aspect of this response, an independent senior
officer will review this decision. If you are not satisfied with our
response you must put your complaint in writing within 40 working days of
receipt of this response giving the reasons for your complaint.  You can
either email [1][Wigan Council request email] or write to the Complaints and
Information Team at the address below.
You can also complain to the Information Commissioner, who is the
regulator for Freedom of Information. His website is
[2]https://ico.org.uk/ and his helpline number is 0303 1231113.
His staff may ask you to exhaust our internal complaints procedure if you
choose to complain to his office now.
May I take this opportunity to apologise for the delay in responding to
your request, this is due to the high volumes currently being received.
Kind Regards
