Dear Information Officer | Waltham Forest Council,

Please be advised 27 working days have elapsed since this request was made.

Reminder of your duty under the FOIA:

Section 10 of the Act sets out the time frames within which a public authority must respond to an FOIA request.

* It applies whenever the public authority has:
- a duty under section 1(1)(a) confirm or deny whether the information is held;
- a duty under section 1(1)(b) to provide information that is held to the requester;
- a duty under section 17 to issue a refusal notice explaining why a request has been refused.
* Authorities must respond to requests promptly, and by the twentieth working day following the date of receipt of the request.
* A working day is any day other than a Saturday, Sunday, Christmas Day, Good Friday or a day which is a bank holiday under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971 in any part of the United Kingdom.
* Where required, an authority may claim a reasonable extension of time to consider the public interest test. An extension beyond an additional 20 working days should be exceptional.

If no response is made to this reminder within 10 working days an internal review shall be requested where Section 45 applies. If the authority still fails to comply with the FOIA then this matter shall be passed onto the Information Commissioner who will order the information to be released, if held.

Yours sincerely,

Gemma Partridge

Information Officer, Waltham Forest Borough Council

Dear Dawn Pidcock, Information Officer

We'd like to query the yearly total for 2008/2009 as it seems out of place for a couple of reasons.
"£3377,704.57"

In light of the other totals it would make sense for it to instead be "£377,704.57"

Please confirm.

Yours sincerely,

Gemma Partridge

Information Officer, Waltham Forest Borough Council
