Shared heating system maintenance

Gedling Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to make a freedom of information request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please could you answer the following questions.

1. How many times have the council arranged for a shared central heating system (i.e. one that heats multiple houses, such as on an estate) to undergo maintenance since September 2021? Please split these figures into three periods: September 2021-August 2022 (inclusive), September 2022-August 2023, September 2023-present.

2. For each of these occasions, please provide a start date and end date. For works that have not yet finished, please provide a planned end date or estimated length of project where this is noted. Please provide this information in an Excel format.

I would like to remind you of your legal responsibility to respond within 20 days.

Yours faithfully,

TJ Jordan
