I am writing to make an open government request for all the information to which I am entitled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please send me:

Dear Sirs

 

RE:     ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS 2004- INFORMATION REQUEST

 

Thank you for your request for information about Social Housing which we
received on 17^th February 2020. Your request has been considered under
the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.

 

Following a search of our paper and electronic records, we have
established that the information you requested is not held by Merthyr
Tydfil County Borough Council. The Council no longer owns any housing
stock. As of April 2009 all council houses and housing files were
transferred to a private company, Merthyr Valley Homes. This Council no
longer has such a service and consequently does not hold this information.

 

The Council has relied on Regulation 12(4)(a) which relates to information
that is not held or has been destroyed. As this information is not held
the Council considers that the public interest test is not applicable.

 

We are sorry that we cannot help further on this occasion but if you are
in any way dissatisfied with the handling of your request, or have any
further information needs in the future then please contact  the
Information Governance Team on 01685 725000 or [1][Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council request email]. If
you are not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint please contact
the Councils Complaints Team on 01685 725000 or
[2][email address], alternatively you may wish to submit a
complaint using the Councils [3]online complaints form. You maintain the
right to request an internal review of the Councils response to your
request. If you seek an internal review please set out in writing your
grounds of appeal and send to:
