I have not yet received a response to the requests for information which I started on 11th January.
I'm sure you will recognise that this is my second enquiry about progress. My first was sent in on 13th February and did not even receive an acknowledgement.
Are you now in a position to let me know what progress is being made?
Yours sincerely,

Dear FOI,
Thank you for your response to my recent FOI enquiry.
May I just ask a couple of questions for clarification?
1. Council Assets in the Cathays ward.
Can you confirm that this is the complete list for the ward? I ask this as I had understood from the response to a previous FOI request that the disused Bingo Hall, attached to the Cathays Community Centre, was council property, as was the Centre itself. I also understood that Maindy Leisure Centre and Dalton Street Community Centre were also owned by the council. None of these appear on your list.
2. HMO Register
Is there a reason that the names of the owners/landlords are not included in either of the HMO listings?
Yours sincerely,
Paul Byers
Dear FOI,
Are you now in a position to respond to my 13 March request for clarification?

Dear Paul
I have carried out an investigation into the Council’s handling of this
request.
At this stage I will not carry out a formal review as I have asked the
department currently dealing with your request to ensure that a full
response is issued to you within the next 8 working days providing you
with the information you have requested.
The Council has clearly failed to provide you with the information
requested within the statutory timeframes under the Freedom of Information
Act/Environmental Information Regulations and for this please accept my
apologies on behalf of the Council.
Cardiff Council is currently in the process of reviewing its arrangements
for answering FOI requests and following this processes in place will be
altered so that requests are answered more efficiently in the future.
You do have the right under section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act
to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision whether, in any
specified respect, the request for information has been dealt with in
accordance with the requirements of Part I of the Act, however I would ask
that you allow us to answer your request first and if you remain unhappy
to write to me again before making such complaints to the Information
Commissioner.
If you wish to discuss this matter with me please do not hesitate to
contact me.
Yours sincerely
Dave Parsons

The HMO response is either complete, which seems unlikely, and they have not said it is*, or some info has been omitted from the spreadsheet report - such as name - in which case there is a clear FOI breach, as no refusal notice or explanation has been given.
* Itself a technical breach as they have not said what info they hold.
