Dear Mr Reynolds

I acknowledge your above-mentioned request for information which was
received on 13 May 2013.

The London Borough of Redbridge is in the process of pro-actively
publishing the datasets of information that it holds on its website,
Redbridge i.  Some of the information will be exempt under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 or Data Protection Act 1998, and this will be removed
or redacted.  You may wish to look at the website to see if the
information you are requesting is already available – you can search the
datasets using a user friendly tool the London Borough of Redbridge has
developed called Datashare and, for your convenience, this is a link to
that tool: [1]http://data.redbridge.gov.uk/

Your request is being considered and you will receive the information
requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working days (from the day
the request was received) as defined by the Freedom of Information Act
2000, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a
reference to a third party. 

The Act defines a number of exemptions that may prevent release of the
information you have requested. There will be an assessment and if any of
the exemption categories apply then the information will not be released.
You will be informed if this is the case, including your rights of
appeal.  

 

If the information you request contains reference to a third party then
they may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not to
release the information to you. You will be informed if this is the case.

 

Please note that the legislation allows access to information 'held' by
the Council and not for the creation of new information or opinion. 
Therefore, we may only be able to supply documents or data that contain
the information we hold in response to your request.

 

If appropriate, the information may be provided in paper copy, normal font
size. If you require alternative formats, e.g. language, audio, large
print, etc. then please let me know.

There may a fee payable for this information. This will be considered and
you will be informed if a fee is payable. In this event the fee must be
paid before the information is processed and released. The 20 working day
time limit for responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.
