Dear Sir/Madam,
Your request for information ref: SOT-126858
Section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 sets out the
requirements of a valid request and says that a request must, amongst
other things, 'state the name of the applicant and address for
correspondence'.
As you have not provided a full name, your request is not valid under the
terms of the Act.
ICO guidance states “a title and/or first name with surname satisfies the
requirement for provision of a real name”.
If you wish to continue with your request, please contact
[1][Stoke on Trent City Council request email] and provide a name to which we can correspond.
Yours sincerely,
