Dear Paul Slattery

We acknowledge receipt of your email to Hackney:
 

Freedom of Information request - Section 106 agreement for the Woodberry
Down estate redevelopment

Thank you for your request for information, FOI-6030.

If you have submitted a request under the Freedom of Information Act
(FOIA) or the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR), we will always
aim to respond within the statutory timescale of 20 working days.

However, due to the current Coronavirus pandemic the Council is taking
steps to concentrate its resources on helping those who are most
vulnerable or at risk. This has meant taking our staff away from their
usual work to other areas of priority and need.

Hackney Council takes its obligations under Information Access legislation
seriously, however; the reality of the current situation means that we may
not be able to respond to your request within the statutory time frame. 

In respect of our duties to provide advice and assistance to you, it may
be useful for you to: 

* Consult data that is routinely [1]published on Hackney Council’s
website;
* Search our library of [2]previously answered Freedom of Information
and Environment Information Regulation requests; or to 
* Highlight to us if your request is time sensitive and requires urgent
attention. 

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. The Information
Commissioner’s Office has published further guidance on data processing
and information requests during this time [3]which is available here.
