Dear Sir / Madam,
REQUEST FOR ACCESS TO INFORMATION
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000
With reference to your request for information held by Causeway Coast and
Glens Borough Council under the above legislation.
Response:
The Council has undertaken a search of its records and failed to locate
any relevant records to your request based on the information you have
provided. Accordingly Council can confirm that it does not hold the
information to which you seek access.
Under Section 16 of the Freedom of Information Act which places a duty on
public authorities “to provide advice and assistance” this maybe because
local authorities in Northern Ireland do not have legislative
responsibility for domestic or commercial rates or collection of these
revenues and responsibly lies with the Land and Property Services.
You may want to contact the Land and Property Service for further
information. They can be contacted at:
Land and Property Services
Information Management Unit
2nd Floor Lincoln Building
27-45 Great Victoria Street

For further guidance on the [2]role of local authorities within Northern
Ireland and other statutory partners please refer to Northern Ireland’s
one stop government portal: [3]NIDirect.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions relating to
your request.

the copyright owner of the information, for their own use, including for
non-commercial research purposes. The information may also be used for the
purposes of news reporting. However, any other type of re-use, such as:
copying, publishing, distributing and transmitting the Information;
adapting the Information; exploiting the Information commercially for
example, by combining it with other Information, or by including it in
your own commercial product or application, will be subject to the
copyright and re-use conditions under the Open Government Licence.
If you are dissatisfied with how the Council handled your request for
information, you have the right to request that the Council formally
review this decision. If you wish to do so, please write within 40 working
days to the:

Should you remain dissatisfied following the Council’s internal review,
you can seek an independent review from the Information Commission. A
request for an independent review should be made in writing to:
Information Commissioner at ICO, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF. The Commissioner has indicated that a review will not
be undertaken unless the Council has first had an opportunity to
reconsider its decision.
Please be advised that under the Freedom of Information Act, replies
including the request may be released into the public domain via our
