Dear Mr Summers,

Thank you for your request for a review, received on 24 August 2020, to
reconsider the information request REV-20-0654 based on lateness of
response from Aberdeen City Council (ACC).

In accordance with the timescales set out in FOISA, you should receive a
review outcome on or before 21 September 2020.  If ACC fails to provide
you with a response by that date, you can apply to the Office of the
Scottish Information Commissioner (OSIC) to make a decision. Please refer
to the Further Information section below.

I would also take this opportunity to advise you that you will have no
further opportunities to seek a review at local authority level after your
response has been provided, as FOISA allows applicants to have one review
only. If you receive your response and disagree with any aspect of it, you
should contact OSIC directly.

Yours sincerely,

Grant Webster

Dear Mr Summers,

Thank you for your email of 24 August 2020 requesting that Aberdeen City
Council (ACC) review its handling of your request. I can now advise you
that we have undertaken an internal review of our decision and the
findings are set out below.

Review details

You requested that we review our decision based on the following:-

Lateness

Review outcome

In accordance with Section 21(4)(c) of FOISA, please find below the
response to your information request, which comprises the Review Outcome:

Can you now provide data for the same devices, in the same format, from
1st May to 30th June 2020 please -  ie as CSV,  which shows a count per
counter per lowest level date held (day / week / month etc)?

Can I also encourage you to publish this data on a monthly basis on your
open data platform, so as to save me or others having to make repeated
requests for updated figures, as I will be doing on a monthly basis from
now on.

Hi Adrian,

My apologies for that. The link was certainly there when I sent the response so I'm not sure what has happened.

Here is the link to the published information: https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services...
