Dear Burpham Parish Meeting,
I am writing to remind you of your obligations under the Freedom of information act. I am still awaiting a response to my freedom of information request and it has been longer than the usual 20 working days.
I would expect this request to be complied with within the 40 working day maximum time scale allowed by the Freedom of Information Act.
Failure to comply in the timescale will result in an internal review being requested and may result in referral to the information commissioner.
Yours faithfully,
J Nelson
Mr Nelson
We are a Parish Meeting not a Parish Council/Councillors and do not claim any expenses/running costs I am happy to give as much information as possible if you still require it.
Yours faithfully
Paul Challen
