Dear Information Compliance,

Apologies, my full name is James Steele.

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Steele
Re: Request for Information - Reference No: CHS/BP3GZS
Thank you for your request for information received by Manchester City
Council on 27 April 2020.
Please note that it may take up to 20 working days (27 May 2020) for the
Council to consider your request and to provide a formal response.   

Please note that Manchester City Council is currently handling a large
volume of business critical work aimed towards the protection and
safeguarding of at risk groups during the COVID-19 outbreak.
Accordingly, Freedom of Information/subject access requests made to
Manchester City Council during the COVID-19 outbreak may have a longer
response period than that stated above. The response that you
receive may also not be complete in whole or in part. This is because:

* Responding to your request may require business area resource
which is currently directed towards direct aid of members of the
public during the COVID-19 outbreak. Directing resources towards
responding to your request could result in vital care of service
not being delivered, and may expose individuals to COVID-19;
* Under central government guidance to help prevent the spread of
COVID-19, all Manchester City Council staff who are able to are
working from home until further notice. As such they may not be
able to get hold of certain information which cannot be accessed
remotely, and accessing it would potentially expose the
individual to COVID-19

If this timescale needs to be extended to consider an exemption you will
be notified and kept informed. 
If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me. 
Yours sincerely
Cieran Cassidy
