Freedom Of Information, East Lothian Council

Our Ref: 2017/1058(12588)

 

Dear Ms Calnan   

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) REGULATIONS 2004

 

Thank you for your email of 28 September.

 

East Lothian Council will be happy to assist you with your enquiry.  Can
we please clarify, however, that the information you require is in respect
of parking charge notices issued by East Lothian Council and not Barnsley
Metropolitan Borough Council as indicated?

 

For your information, I have provided an extract from the website of the
Scottish Information Commissioner which explains how our request affects
the timescales of this enquiry:

 

[1]What happens to the 20 working day period if I need more information
from the applicant to let me deal with the request?

 

If you need to ask the applicant for further information to help you
identify and locate the information they want, the 20 working days "clock"
does not start counting down until you have received their clarification.
The deadline for compliance will be the twentieth working day after you
receive additional information from the applicant.

 

Public authorities must not misuse this by delaying asking the applicant
for further information in order to give themselves more time to reply
when the additional information isn't really needed.

 

Thank you for your assistance in this matter, I look forward to hearing
from you in due course.  In the meantime, under the terms of this
legislation, if you are unhappy with the way your request has been
handled, you are entitled to request that we undertake an internal
review.  Please note, however, that both the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002 and the Environmental Information (Scotland)
Regulations 2004 only relate to the release of information.  The Scottish
Information Commissioner publishes the following guidance about internal
reviews:

 

You can ask the authority to review its decision if it does not respond or
you are unhappy with the way it has dealt with your request, for example
by:

 

·                     refusing to give you the information

·                     failing to reply to you within the time limit
allowed

·                     claiming the information is exempt

·                     failing to give you advice about, and help with,
making your request

·                     asking you to pay a fee that you feel is
unreasonable

 

For example, if you are unhappy because you do not believe the information
you have received is accurate, an internal review would not apply.  Should
this be the case, however, please let me know and I will try to resolve
this.  If I am unable to help, I will be happy to put you in touch with
someone who can.

 

We must receive a request to review within 40 working days of the date of
this notice.  A request to review our decision must be in writing (e-mail
is acceptable) or another permanent format.  When writing, you should
include your reasons as to why you are unhappy with our response and why
you wish it to be reviewed.  Your reasons for dissatisfaction must relate
to your information request of 28 September only and should be addressed
to:

 

Information Governance Compliance Officer

Licensing, Administration and Democratic Services

East Lothian Council

John Muir House

Haddington

EH41 3HA

 

Email: [2][East Lothian Council request email]

 

We will have a maximum of 20 working days from the date we receive your
request in order to complete our review and give you our decision.  In
order to ensure an impartial approach, an independent senior officer will
be appointed to carry out the review.

 

If you are still not satisfied with our decision following the review
process, then you may ask the Office of the Scottish Information
Commissioner (OSIC) to investigate the matter.  You may submit your appeal
online via OSIC’s website, a link to the online appeal service is provided
for your convenience:

E-mail:  [4][email address]

 

If you remain dissatisfied following the Commissioner’s decision, you may
be able to appeal to the Court of Session.   You should, however, obtain
legal advice before deciding on this course of action.  This is because an
appeal may only be made on a point of law, not because you disagree with
the Commissioner’s view of the case.

Dear Ms Calnan

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) ACT 2002

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION (SCOTLAND) REGULATIONS 2004

 

In response to your enquiry of 28 September, on behalf of East Lothian
Council I am now able to provide the information you require; please refer
to the PDF attachment.

 

Under the terms of this legislation, if you are unhappy with the way your
request has been handled, you are entitled to request that we undertake an
internal review.  Please note, however, that both the Freedom of
