Dear Sally Wardle,

I am writing in respect of  enquiry relating to your information access request dated the 08/07/2022.  This request has been handled
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. 

Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. I have made enquiries of the Housing Team and can confirm that the answers in
response to Q2 are indeed in respect of the whole years.  There was, however, an error in the response to Q1 in that the information
provided was for the whole of the year ending December 2021 and not just for the position at December 2021.  The response for Q1 should,
therefore, have been 3 and not 16.  Please accept our apologies for this error and for any inconvenience caused by the delay in providing
the correct information.

Please find below updated information in response to your request.
