Dear Jamie Dixon,

I refer to your recent request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. I can confirm that the Council does hold this
information, as detailed below.

Under the Freedom of Information act, I would like to request the number
of complaints made about filthy & verminous properties in the council area
in the last five years (2016-2020).

Although the Council does hold this information, it would require a
significant manual exercise to be undertaken to extract the information
you have requested which would exceed the fees limit, therefore this
element of your request is refused under Section 12 (Appropriate Limit and
Fees) of the Freedom of Information Act. 

This information has been provided in response to a Freedom of Information
request and this must be acknowledged in any subsequent use of the
information. In addition, the authority must be notified of any proposed
re-use of this information for commercial or other purposes.

I hope this is satisfactory. If, however, you are dissatisfied with our
response to your request for information, you can ask for the decision to
be reviewed in reply to this letter, however any request for review must
be submitted within 40 days of the date of this freedom of information
response. The review will be removed from the Directorate and coordinated
by the Council’s team of Solicitors. A request for review should be
directed, by email to [1][Sunderland City Council request email] by post or
by hand addressed to Business Support, Sunderland City Council, Civic
Centre, Burdon Road, Sunderland. SR2 7DN.

If this fails to resolve your concerns, then you have the right to apply
to the Information Commissioner for a decision.

Kind Regards

Angela
