Dear Abdul Kareem

Request FOI/9832

Further to your request received on 30/04/2024, I confirm that the Council
has now considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Specifically, you have requested the following information:

1. How many properties do you currently have on Temporary Accommodation?

318

2. Please can you advise us on the maximum that is paid per night for a
Studio, 1 Bed, 2 Bed, 3 Bed & 4 Bed.

We are trying to work as close to PAN London prices as possible as to not
to over inflate our market, depending on the size of units our price
ranges are :
Studio - £35-£45
1 bed - £50- £60
2 bed - £60- £75
3 bed - £80- £95
4 bed –£90- £105

3. If we were to supply accommodation on this basis, please can you give
us contact names, telephone numbers & emails of the procurement team.

Croydon Council structure charts, information regarding Members and
contact numbers are in the public domain and can be found on the Council’s
website via the following links:

 All email addresses for employees of the council and Members
are [4][email address]. 

Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 therefore applies,
‘Information reasonably accessible to the applicant by other means’. This
acts as an exemption notice.  Section 21 is an absolute exemption and
therefore does not require the public interests balancing test to be
applied.

This means that the Council is relieved of the duty to communicate the
requested information to an applicant if there is an existing method by
which the information can be obtained, outside of the operation of the
Freedom of Information Act and Environmental Information Regulations. 

The Council publishes Access to Information requests and responses on its
online Disclosure Log. (Any request included within this log will be
anonymised appropriately)

To view the Council’s Disclosure Log, please visit our website available
here:

(disclosure-log.co.uk)

If you are dissatisfied with the way the Council has handled your request
under the Freedom of Information Act you may ask for an internal review.
This should be submitted to us within 40 working days of this response.
You can do this by outlining the details of your complaint by:

Email:        [6][email address]

Floor 7 - Zone B

                  8 Mint Walk

considered only at the discretion of the council.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
