Dear Bromsgrove District Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Bromsgrove District Council's handling of my FOI request 'Civil Enforcement Officer Equipment'.
If the Civil Enforcement Officer is issued with a timekeeping device then surely that is not personal information. If the Civil Enforcement Officer is using a personal timekeeping device rather than an issued one from the Local Authority how do you ensure it is accurate?
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
Yours faithfully,
Simon R Frankson

Dear Simon,
Following your request for an internal review, I have over turned our
original response.
Your question was:
Can you tell me what timekeeping device is used by Civil Enforcement
Officer 525 and when it was last calibrated? The date and time is on the
officers handheld device. The date and time on the device is automatically
pulled from the server that the device is connected to and does not rely
on calibration.
This now ends our review. I hope you are satisfied with the response.
However, if you are remain dissatisfied with the way your request has been
handled, you now have the right to complain to the Information
Commissioner. You can contact the Information Commissioner at:
