Community venues
Dear Bridgend County Borough Council,
I am requesting a list of "Community Venues" defined as facilities the Council owns that can be hired for community use. This may include Community Centres, Community Halls, Libraries, Town Halls, Pavilions and any other facilities that can be booked for community use.
Please provide a table with the following columns:
· Name of venue
· Number of bookable spaces
· Total venue income from bookings last financial year (£)
· Does the venue have an online booking system*
*Online booking system is defined as the ability for a customer to book and pay online.
For example:
· Kingswood Community Centre
· 3 bookable spaces
· £30,000
· Yes
Yours faithfully,
T. Houghton
Dear Sir/Madam
I write to acknowledge receipt of your email below. So that I can log this FOI request for you, I will need to ask you to provide me with your full name for our records.
Section 8(1)(b) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 states that a request for information must include the requester’s real name.
The ICO guidance states that if the requester:
• fails to provide a name;
• can’t be identified from the name provided (for example because they have only used their first name or initials); or
• is using an obvious pseudonym,
then their request won’t meet the requirements of section 8(1)(b) and will technically be invalid.
Can you therefore resubmit your request and provide me with your full name please?
Unfortunately, I am unable to rely on just an email address and initials.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards
Ffion Walker
