Request for BR information

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Lewes District Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Lewes District Council,

I request the following information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000 about Business Rates Accounts held by your
council:
• Account Name
• Account Start Date
• Billing Authority Reference
• Current 2010 List Rateable Value
• Details of any reliefs where applied, including a further
breakdown if possible of:
o Type of relief applied
o Date the relief was applied
o Value of the relief
• Full Address of the rated assessment
• Billing Address
• Description
I am aware that the Account Name may be considered personal in some
instances so I ask that in these cases you supply the rest of the
information provided with the Account name redacted.

THIS LIST NEEDS TO BE UPTO DATE, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME DATA THAT
YOU DONE A YEAR AGO.

Yours faithfully,

simon smith
