Dear Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request copies of the leases held by Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council with both Ashton on Mersey Rugby Union Football Club and Mersey Valley Sports Club on Banky Lane in Sale.
The ICO has previously ruled that requests of this nature are not exempt under either section 42 (legal professional privilege) or section 43(2) (Prejudice to commercial interests) exemptions: https://ico.org.uk/media/action-weve-tak...

Dear Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Council Leases for Ashton on Mersey RUFC, Mersey Valley Sports Club'.
I made the request on 1st March which means that Trafford are now well outside the mandatory timescale to respond to my request. Please can you respond to my request before it is passed to the ICO?

I am writing to request an internal review of Trafford Metropolitan Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Council Leases for Ashton on Mersey RUFC, Mersey Valley Sports Club'.
You have only partially fulfilled my request - I am still awaiting the lease in relation to ASHTON ON MERSEY RUGBY UNION FOOTBALL CLUB. Please can you send this across at your earliest convenience as you are now well outside the statutory limit.
