Councillor's Casework logged for period 2016/17

The request was successful.

Dear Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council,

On reading a previous FOI concerning this matter I'd very much welcome an update and ask if you can please advise on the number of pieces of "casework" raised by each councillor with yourselves for the year ending 31st March 2017.

Can you provide this as a list with the number of queries, cases each councillor has logged.

Please include all queries officially logged by each councillor - whether on behalf of a resident or where the councillor has raised the query on his or her own account.

I look forward to hearing from yourselves in a timely manner.

Yours faithfully,

Darryl Magher

Dear Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council,

Thank you for your response, please may I ask you to confirm that the figures you have stated refer to the year May 2016 - April 2017. I ask for this clarification as the figures seem very much like those previously released for 2015/16.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Magher

 

Further to your FOI query in relation to the number of member queries
dealt with from April 2016 to the end of May 2017, please note that due to
an oversight, we did indeed provide you with the 2015-16 figures.  Can I
please apologise for this error. 

 

We are now attempting to pull together all of the figures for the
requested period and I will endeavour to get this to you as soon as
possible.

Dear Mr Magher

 

Please see attached a response to your FOI query which shows the number of
enquiries logged for each member from May 2016 until April 2017.

 

Please note that the above only shows what queries are logged with
officers, a number of members may log their casework separately which is
not recorded by staff.

 

Hop this helps and apologies again for the lateness of the response.

 

Kind Regards
