Dear Luton Borough Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Luton Borough Council's handling of my FOI request 'Taxi and private hire complaints'.
The response received is not satisfactory and I am requesting that the information requested is provided. If someone other than Tony Ireland could now complete this request it would be greatly appreciated. Requests of this nature are completed by other authorities with no issues and this does reflect on how your taxi licensing department is run.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/t...
Yours faithfully,
Peter Mead
