Dear Mr Whittaker,
Re: Freedom of Information Act Request (Our Reference: DTUP-8YJGB9)
I am writing in response to your recent request for information which was received by
Royal Mail on 27th September 2012. Your request has now been considered under the
terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. You requested the following information:
“Having examined the data, it appears that there may be around 1000 indoor
post boxes that are not listed in the file you sent. For example, box number
IP24 3431, which is located inside the Tesco Superstore in Thetford.
Is it the case that these indoor boxes are not recorded in the CMD for some
reason, or were they accidentally omitted from the data you sent? If the
former, is there any reason for this? If the latter, then I'd be grateful if you
could send me the omitted data for these boxes.
Similarly, are there any other sets/types of boxes that aren't stored in the
CMD or that were accidentally omitted from the data you sent me? If the
latter, then I'd be grateful if you could send me the omitted data for these
boxes.”
I can confirm that due to an oversight, ‘Indoor Box’ was not included in our earlier extract
of the data from the Central Collections Management Database, CMD. Please accept our
apologies and find attached with this response ‘Indoor Box CMD Extract’ in the format as
previously requested. Furthermore I can confirm that all posting boxes have been included
in the data disclosed to you in this and our earlier response.
I hope the information provided is useful to you. If for any reason you are not satisfied with
this response, you do have the right to request a review. If you wish to do so please set out
