Request:

My name is Immanuel Feld and I am a researcher at the University of
Warwick. My research focusses on local governments and the provision of
public goods. I am thus interested in collecting information on the public
libraries run by local councils.

Specifically, under the FOI legislation, I request a list of all public
libraries run by your council between 2005 and 2022. Additionally, could
you please provide information on dates of opening and closure (with at
least year-month precision) if they started or ceased operation over that
period. Lastly, could you please provide information on opening and
closing hours of the library in that given year?

That means the final dataset would have the following columns:
Name of the library, address, date of opening, date of closing, opening
hours in year 2005, opening hours in year 2006, … , opening hours in year
2022.
If collecting daily opening hours is not possible, annual opening hours
are sufficient, too.

I am happy with whatever format of the data is the most suitable to you
and I don’t have any issue in combining multiple files.

Decision:

Your request falls within the remit of Lincolnshire County Council, you
can send your request to [email address] or visit their website at
www.lincolnshire.gov.uk.

Your right of appeal:

If you have any queries or concerns regarding this decision, please email:
[South Kesteven District Council request email]

If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your
request and wish to make a request for an internal review of the SKDC
decision, you should email: [South Kesteven District Council request email] and quote ‘FOI review
request’ in the subject line.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of the internal review, you may
apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally,
the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the procedure
provided by the council. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
