Dear Aysha Mukhtar,

I fail to see how this is a response to my FOI request. firstly you have sent your response to the wrong FOI request, which has already been answered last year, secondly both links you provide seem in error, the first is a dead link because the link has been clumsily formatted, and the second links to a pdf response to someone else's FOI request (IGT_FOI_02_2705 - Food Premises Registration) which has nothing to do with mine.

Please could you resubmit this response to the correct FOI request, which is 'IGT_FOI_01_2610 - Questions regarding your New £20 million Housing Strategy'

Yours sincerely,

Muhammed Iqbal

Tower Hamlets council always fail to respond to their customers needs. They don't know anything and need to be trained more thoroughly.
