Dear Chapple Susan,
Can you tell the Non Domestic Rate department I want this info today as it is seriously overdue.
I am also at this stage entitled to invoice Cornwall Council for administartive costs in chasing this request using my time and energy and I am not even employed by the council to carry out such duties but oviously this leaves me no option but to charge for my time.
Please tell me that name of the person, job title and department you have requested this from please?
Yours sincerely,
Jamie Dee

Dear Mr Dee,
This relates to your FOI request No IAR-851820 which we have been
corresponding about recently.
The current situation is that I have reminded the Department concerned
about the delay in processing this request and I have provided you with
their email address.
As Cornwall Council has not provided the response yet, it is not
appropriate to conduct an internal review. This can only occur after
release of the information.
I suggest you contact the relevant Department at:
[1]revs[Cornwall Council request email]
Unfortunately as I do not know who the information owner is I can not give
you a name, job title or department.
As Complaints Officer for Freedom of Information, I do not intend to
correspond further until you have received the response.

Dear Rev’s & Ben’s FOI,
I have reminded your service about very overdue FOI already, but this week
alone I have received 5 emails from this requestor chasing his response.
The due date was 1^st December and as far as I can see from Northgate and
EDRMS there has been no communication with him apart from the initial
acknowledgement email.
Could you please either provide the information he wants or contact him to
explain why there is a delay.
I have already informed him that I can’t help at this stage.
Any future emails I receive from him will be forwarded to the Rev’s FOI
mailbox.
Kind regards

Dear Mr Dee
Many thanks for your e-mail received today on my return from annual leave.
I apologise for providing you with your data request outside of the 20 working day time limit for Freedom of Information requests and apologise for not explaining why the response was late. There have been a number of staff changes within our service leading to a delay in being able to obtain the information you requested and the data being supplied to me to process under the necessary templates.
Once again I apologise for any inconvenience this has caused you and the delay in responding.

Dear Endean Rachel,
It seems like you have supplied me with limited companies only and not the actual list I have asked for?
I am not after names of occupiers but your list shows name, I would like a list of ALL addresses please, names are not required.
Please come back to me asap
Yours sincerely,
Jamie Dee
Dear Endean Rachel,
Its been 14 days since I requested this to be looked at again and to the date I have had no further response from you.
I didnt ask for just Ltd companies??
I dont expect names either, just the addresses will suffice please.
Can you act on this immediately please Rachel.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Cornwall Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Cornwall Council's handling of my FOI request 'Current List of commercial properties not receiving small business rate relief'.
Its ridiculous to have to wait this long. its really not difficult to provide me with what I have asked and then to make matters worse you just pass across companies that are LTD, which exposes the company easily, I just a complete list.
Someone in CCC thought they be clever and try and mugg me off

Dear Mr Dee

Dear Mr Dee
Further to your request for a review to the response provided to your
Freedom if Information request – 851820 (Internal Review reference –
938102), I can now confirm that that this has been undertaken by an
independent officer and the outcome is as follows:-
The findings were that the request was dealt with correctly in terms of
the information to be released or withheld. However, there were some
points identified which it is acknowledged should have been made clearer
to you.
Firstly, it is acknowledged that it was not clear as to why only certain
information was provided to you. The response should have specified that
only information relating to limited companies could be provided, as other
information relating to private individuals would be withheld under
section 40 (2) (Personal Information) of the Freedom of Information Act.
Section 40 (2) applies where disclosure of third party personal data would
breach any of the Data Protection principles. The Council has a legal
requirement under the Data Protection Act (1998) to process data fairly
and lawfully. The Council considers that releasing third party personal
information would be unfair and as such a disclosure that would breach
section one of the DPA.
Secondly, the response could have been dealt with in a more timely manner
and an apology given, along with reasons for a delay.
I trust that this fully answers your request. However, if this does not
resolve the matter to your satisfaction, you have the right to apply
directly to the Information Commissioner, the contact details of whom are:
