Dear Patrick West,
Thank you for your Freedom of Information request received on 22th July
2024. On review, the Council considers that it is not obliged to comply
with this request in accordance with section 14 of the FOIA, as the
request has been deemed to be vexatious for the following reason(s):
The Council is satisfied that:
• There are no reasonable grounds for making this request because it
appears to be made for purely commercial purposes.
• Disclosure of the requested information would not be of sufficient
value to public at large.
• Responding would likely require a disproportionate level of effort.
The level of work required to compile this information would not be
proportionate to the value of this information to the public at large.
This would therefore place an unjustified level of disruption on the
authority.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to:
Director of Governance, Legal & HR
Southampton City Council
Civic Centre
SOUTHAMPTON
SO14 7LT
Email: [1][email address]
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.
The Information commissioner can be contacted by using the details
available at [2]https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/ or by post at:
Information Commissioner's Office
