Dear Jamie
 
Freedom of Information Act 2000
 
To provide this information would exceed the appropriate limit, as outlined in Section 12 
of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 
 
You asked us:
 
 
Q1. Please provide a schedule of individual grants received from "Central 
Government" since your records began.  Please detail the value of the grant and 
any restrictions on how the funds may be used, e.g., to house venerable adults, 
repair roads, house asylum seekers, planting trees, etc.
 
The information requested is already in the public domain for the last eight years. WCC 
publish  financial accounts on WCC website every year and the website includes each 
year's accounts from 2014/15 onwards. The accounts include a note that sets out all the 
government grants we have received in year and can be accessed from the following 
link:
 
https://www.warwickshire.gov.uk/financialaccounts
 
It has been estimated that such a search all grants  would greatly exceed the 18 hours 
of officer time set as an appropriate limit under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000, and therefore we are not obliged to comply with your 
request.
 

---

Finding, retrieving and preparing information takes employees' time and consequently 
we are allowed to consider costs. If, based upon an hourly rate of £25 the cost exceeds
the 'appropriate limit', then the public authority can refuse to fulfil the request. For Local 
Authorities the 'appropriate limit' is set at £450 (which equates to 18 hours of officer
time).
 
Therefore, we are not obliged to provide the information requested. In not providing this 
information the Council is relying upon Section 12 (1) of the Freedom of Information Act
2000, whereby the Council is not obliged to comply with a request for information if the 
Council estimates that the cost of complying would exceed the appropriate limit.
 
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an 
internal review. Internal review requests should be submitted within 40 days of the date 
of receipt of the response to your original letter and should be addressed to:
 
Information Management
Shire Hall 
Warwick 
CV34 4RL
xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx 
www.ico.org.uk/foicomplaints
 
 
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to 
apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information 
Commissioner can be contacted at: 
The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, 
Cheshire, SK9 5AF. 
Phone: 0303 123 1113 
Website: www.ico.org.uk
 
 
I will now close your request as of this date.
Yours faithfully
 
Yunus Khalifa
Information Rights Officer
