Dear Croydon Borough Council,

Please could you provide me with information on how much was spent on councillor's car parking in the Croydon Council car park, Wandle Road, Croydon (CR10 1TQ).

Could you also provide details on the total amount spent on meals, alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages for Councillors sitting on Committees in the 2019/2020 financial year, as well as from 2010 to date.

Yours faithfully,

Oliver Murphy

Dear Croydon Council,

You have exceeded the statutory response time of 20-working days as outlined in the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Please can I have an explanation as to why this is the case – and when I can expect a response to the information I have requested?

Yours sincerely,
Oliver Murphy

Dear Croydon Borough Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I note that you have not confirmed or denied whether the authority holds this information, and have not applied an exemption that would remove this obligation.

As you may be aware, Section 1(1) of the FOI Act (https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/200...) states that "Any person making a request for information to a public authority is entitled to be informed in writing by the public authority whether it holds information of the description specified in the request".
I would be grateful if you could clarify whether or not this information is held, or specify which exemption of the duty to confirm or deny you are applying.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/s...
