Dear Gareth
 
ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS 2004 - INFORMATION REQUEST
 
Reference E/10/2223
 
Your request for information has been considered, and to the best of our
knowledge, the information we hold which relates to your request, is as
follows:
 
Please could you provide the following information on socially rented
Traveller sites in your local authority area for the five full calendar
years between 2017 and 2021. This includes all sites owned and managed by
the local authority or by a housing association, but not private sites.
For any 'yes' answers, please specify in your answer which site the answer
refers to, e.g. 'Mary Street, Bradford', or 'Esholt Site, Bradford'.
 
For the purposes of this request, this is made under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 and the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
 
For more information: [2]https://ico.org.uk/media/for-organisatio...
[3]https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/gui...
 
If you are unable to provide five years of information within the FOI/EIR
cost limits, please prioritise 2021 and work backwards in reverse
chronological order.
 
1a. Have you received any environmental complaints from residents or other
parties, including council officers, between 2017 and 2021? Please respond
with a 'Yes' or 'No' answer for each of the five years.
 
Socially rented Travellers sites
2017 - No
2018 - No
2019 - No
2020 - No
2021 - No
 
1b. For any 'Yes' answers, please list how many complaints you received by
type for each calendar year. For example: 2017 - Total: 18 - 8 complaints
for vermin, 2 from odour from refuse dump, 1 for noise, 3 for insects, 1
for dust, 2 for air pollution, 1 for flooding etc
 
Not applicable
 
2a. Between 2017 and 2021, has the council measured air or noise
pollution, or taken soil samples to test for contamination? Please respond
with a 'Yes' or 'No' answer for each of the five years for air, soil and
noise separately. For example: 2017 - Noise pollution - Yes; Soil - No;
Air pollution - Yes.
 
Not applicable
 
2b. For any 'Yes' answers, please state whether or not pollution or
contamination exceeded legal or recommended levels, or was higher than the
local authority area average on the site at any point through each year.
Please give as much detail as you can, such as the month the breach
occurred. For example: 2017 - Noise pollution exceeded legal or
recommended levels in March; air pollution exceeded legal level.
 
Not applicable
 
I hope that you are satisfied with our response. However, if you are
dissatisfied in any way with the handling of your information request your
next step would be to clearly state in writing why you are dissatisfied
and the Council will treat this as a formal complaint in accordance with
our Compliments, Comments and Complaints policy. The policy together with
information on how to make a complaint is available on the Council’s
website [4]www.bolsover.gov.uk or by emailing CCCAdmin[5]@bolsover.gov.uk.
