Our Response
Unfortunately Thurrock Council are unable to provide the information you
have requested. This is because we do not hold this information. Our
system only records Male/Female/Transgender/Prefer not to say/Unknown. We
do not have a breakdown as requested, i.e., lesbian, gay, bisexual and
transgender (LGBT)
If you are dissatisfied with the way in which the council have managed
your FOI request you can pursue an Internal Review by contacting us using
the above email address. Your request will be considered by a senior
member of the Information Management Team who will update you with the
outcome of the review.
If you remain unhappy following the outcome of your Internal Review you
may wish to refer your case to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO)
and details of this organisation can be found at [1]www.ico.org.uk .
Please be advised that the ICO will not consider your case until they have
confirmation that you have already been through the Internal Review stage
with the council.
Many thanks
