Unfortunately, due to the unprecedented challenges we are facing during
the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, resources may be diverted away from

the Information Commissioner’s guidance, Awareness Guidance 11 Time for
Compliance, the 20 working day clock starts the day after the Council
received the request. The due date has been calculated to be 17/03/22.
