Dear Christopher Whittaker

Thank you for your request for information of 3 December 2019 which has
been logged as RFI 1998 and has been dealt with under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. We confirm that Cheshire West and Chester Council
holds information relating to your request.

For the purpose of clarity your request has been reproduced below:

I would request the last food hygiene report that was conducted at
McDonald’s Cheshire oaks.

Response

Please see attached document. A revisit was undertaken on 25/09/18 when it
was established that there was a constant supply of hot water to wash hand
basin.

You will note that some minor redaction of the personal data of employees
has been applied. The Council considers that this information is exempt
from disclosure under subsection 40 (2) FOIA and other ICO guidance which
states that personal data of junior Council employees and other third
parties attracts an absolute exemption from disclosure and that such
requests must be dealt with under the Data Protection Act (“DPA”) and
General Data Protection Regulations (“GDPR”) 2018.

For further information regarding the application of the exemption for
personal data, please follow the below link to the Government Legislation
website:

We trust this answers your query.

The Council considers that your request has been answered in full by
either confirming that information is not held, providing you with the
information requested, or explaining why any information has been withheld
and the reasons for any redaction. Where applicable, the Council has also
told you the reasons for the delay in responding to your request.

If you are unhappy with the way your request for information has been
handled you can request a review by writing to the Disclosures Team within
40 working days from the date of the Council’s response.

You are entitled to a review by the Council if:

•             You are dissatisfied with the Council’s explanation of why
the application was not dealt with within the 20 working day time limit.

•             All the information requested is not being disclosed and you
have not received an explanation why some information is not being
disclosed.

•             A reason for the disclosures under the request being refused
is not received.

•             You consider that exemptions have been wrongly applied,
and/or

•             You consider that a fee has been wrongly applied.

Please set out your grounds for seeking a review together with what
specific part of your request those grounds apply to and the outcome you
are seeking. The Council reserves the right to ask you for clarification
of the grounds for your review request if the grounds are not clear, and
