Dear Accent Group Housing,

I hope to hear from you soon. Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Accent Group Housing,
I have looked at your record of answering FoI requests and it is not good. Perhaps you prefer to provide a good service to tenants and buyers, etc. Nevertheless you should have replied, even to say that you are not bound by the provisions of the FoI Act.

I am leaving this message on the WhatDoTheyKnow website for others to read.

I am giving up after more than 9 weeks waiting (normal legal deadline: 4 weeks).

Yours faithfully,

U. Winfield
