Dear Jackie,
Thanks for your response to my recent enquiry. I note the service has conducted 233 inspections since 14 June 2017. Are you please able to provide the number of these inspections that resulted in each possible outcome (broadly compliant, action plan, enforcement notice etc)?
I would expect this information to be held in an easily accessible format to allow for any necessary follow-up actions to be taken. I do not require details of the buildings in question which should address the concerns you have highlighted about health and safety and commercial interests.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Wilding
