Dear Ms Kerrigan

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – INFORMATION REQUEST

Thank you for your request for information that we received on
26.03.2020.  Your request is being dealt with under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.

You will receive the information you have requested within the statutory
timescale of 20 working days as defined by the Act, subject to any
exemptions that may apply.

Although the Council is aware of its statutory requirements under the
FOIA, the UK is in the midst of an unprecedented national emergency due to
Coronavirus (COVID-19). This emergency has placed an enormous strain on
Local Authorities including high staff absence, mandatory homeworking and
resource being redeployed to assist front line services. The Council will
endeavour to meet statutory deadlines for requests but please note there
is a likelihood of delays. If this is the case please accept our sincere
apologies for any inconvenience caused and we appreciate your patience
during these challenging times.

You should note that the Act defines a number of exemptions that may
prevent disclosure of the information you have requested.  If any of the
exemption categories apply, the information will not be disclosed.  If
there are references to a third party, they may be consulted prior to a
decision being made on whether or not to disclose the information.  You
will be informed if either of these is applicable, including your rights
of appeal.

There may be a fee payable for this information.  If this is the case, you
will be informed in writing and a ‘Fees Notice’ will be issued.  The fee
must be paid before the information is processed and disclosed.  The 20
working day time limit for responses will commence on receipt of the
payment if a fee is applicable.

If appropriate, the information will be provided in paper copy, normal
font size.  If you require another format, e.g. audio, large print,
translation or CD, please let me know.

If you have any queries you can contact me or write to: FOI, PO Box 4,
Blackpool, FY1 1NA, or email us at [email address].  Please remember
to quote your reference number when you contact us.

Yours sincerely
