Dear Mr Hardy,
 
FOI 22434
 
Thank you for your email of 19^th February 2021 in which you asked for the
following information from the London Borough of Bromley;
 
I would like to request a breakdown of total income and total expenditure
for Bromley Council for 2018-2019 & 2019-2020
 
For example, how much money was gained from parking fines, marriage tax,
donations, fees etc.
 
And what that money was then spent on. Infrastructure(how much on roads,
street lights etc), pensions, council workers income, savings, schools,
charitable organisations (how much to different types)
 
You should have records for where your money comes from and goes, albeit
potentially not in as much detail. I would be interested in seeing the
overall breakdown in terms of sectors/industries, and then a more detailed
one.
 
Your request has been handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(FOIA).
 
I can confirm that the department holds information that you have asked
for. The information is exempt under section 21 of the FOI Act because it
is reasonably accessible to you, and I am pleased to inform you that you
can access it via the following link: 
 
[1]https://www.bromley.gov.uk/info/200110/c...
 
Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act exempts disclosure of
information that is reasonably accessible by other means, and the terms of
the exemption mean that we do not have to consider whether or not it would
be in the public interest for you to have the information.
 
Your FOI enquiry which has now been closed.
 
Thank you for your enquiry.
 
Yours sincerely,
 
Mrs Preston
Contract Monitoring Officer

Please note:
Section 1 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties
on public authorities.  Unless exemptions apply, the first duty at Sec
(1)(a) is to confirm or deny whether the information specified in a
request is held.  The second duty at Sec (1)(b) is to disclose information
which is permitted to the public domain and that has been confirmed as
being held.  Where exemptions are relied upon s17 of FOIA requires that we
provide the requester with a notice which: a) states fact b) specifies
exemption(s) in question and c) states (if that would not otherwise be
apparent) why exemption applies.
 
Section 12 (1) of the Freedom of the Freedom of Information Act states
that a public authority is not obliged to:…. “comply with a request for
information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the
request would exceed the appropriate time limit of 18 hours of an officers
time to manually review records, retrieve and collate the data which we
are not obliged to do under the act if to do so would exceed the 18 hour
time limit.
 
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your FOI request, you have
the right to ask for us to conduct an internal review.
 
If you are not content with the outcome of our internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted on 0303 123 1113
or 01625 545 745.
