Freedom of Information Request - Social Housing
To whom it may concern,
I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information from your organisation:
1) How many complaints relating to housing has your organisation received in the past five years (January 2016 to present)? How many of these cases are ongoing? [Please could you provide the data for each year e.g. 2016 “X” number of complaints, 2017 “X” number of complaints.]
2) How many staff members do you have working as part of your complaints resolution team or equivalent team?
3) How many social housing tenants (council house and housing association tenants) does your council have? How many social housing dwellings/properties (council house and housing association dwellings/properties) does your council have?
5) How much money has your organisation spent on housing repairs and maintenance each year for the past five years (Jan 2016-present)? [Please could you provide the data for each year e.g. 2016 “X” number, 2017 “X” number]
My preferred format for this data is CSV format.
If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.
If you can identify any ways that my request could be refined I would be grateful for any further advice and assistance.
If you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me via email or phone (07428474415) and I will be very happy to clarify what I am asking for and discuss the request, my details are outlined below.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to your response.
Best wishes,
Will Tullis
I acknowledge your request for information received, which is being
investigated.
The Act allows the Council 20 working days to comply with your request.
During this time, the Council will assess the information to establish if
any exemptions apply. If it is felt that any information may be exempt
from disclosure, this will be given careful consideration and the Public
Interest Test will be applied if appropriate. If it is determined that
any material is exempt, you will be notified of which information is not
going to be released and the reasons why.
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact the Freedom of
Information Officer at Fenland District Council, or email
[1][Fenland District Council request email]. It would help us to help you if you could quote
the Information Request No, quoted above, on any correspondence.
Yours sincerely
FOI Officer

Dear Will
This is a nil response as Fenland District Council sold its council housing stock to Roddons Housing Association, who have now been absorbed into Clarion Housing Group. They can be contacted at www.circle.org.uk
