issued in terns of Section 29(1) of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act
1982.

(2) This warrant shall expire on 28 February 2012.

(3) (4) (5) (6) No information is held in relation to these parts of
your request and in terms of Section 17 of the Freedom of Information
(Scotland) Act 2002, I must advise you of this. In order to assist you,
however, you may wish to contact the Scottish Environmental Protection
Agency who might be in a position to assist you. Their contact details
are as follows:-

(7) I can advise that for the period 1 May 2008 to the date of your
enquiry, 27 May 2009, there have been no reports made to this authority of
water escaping from the premises in question to the Council drains.

I can advise that North Lanarkshire Council, having regard to the
provisions of Section 21 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002, has established a procedure whereby any person who has requested
information and is in any way dissatisfied with the decision on that
request, can require a review of that decision by writing to the Executive
Director of Corporate Services, Civic Centre, Windmillhill Street,
Motherwell ML1 1AB. Accordingly, if you are dissatisfied with this
decision and seek such review please write to the Executive Director of
Corporate Services.

I would advise, also, that in terms of Section 47 of the Act a person who
is dissatisfied with a notice given by the local authority under Section
21 of the Act - ie. a notice following a review of a decision by a local
authority, or by the failure of a local authority to give such a notice -
may make application to the Scottish Information Commissioner for a
decision as to whether, in any respect specified in that application, the
request for information to which the requirement relates has been dealt
with in accordance with the Act. Such an application must be in writing
or in another form which, by reason of it having some permanency is
capable of being used for subsequent reference - for example a recording
made in audio or video tape - must state the name of the applicant and an
address for correspondence and must specify the request for information to
which the requirement for review relates, the matter which gave rise to
the applicant's dissatisfaction with the original decision of the local
authority and the matter which gives rise to the applicant's
dissatisfaction with the decision on review by the local authority or the
failure of the local authority to issue such a decision. The Scottish
Information Commissioner can be contacted as follows:-

Scottish Information Commissioner

Kinburn Castle

Doubledykes Road

St. Andrew's

I hope this information is sufficient for your purpose. If, however, you
require further information - or I can assist in any other way - please
let me know.

Yours faithfully,
