Thank you for your information request. This is an automated response and
acknowledgement.
If you have submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) or the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR), your request

Dear Ms Lucas,
The County Council does not hold this information, as we are not a housing
authority with responsibility for social housing. This is a function of
the seven district and borough councils within Leicestershire. To obtain
this information, we recommend that you submit your FOI request to each
one separately, via the links below:
