FOI request (FOI208065)

Number of FOI requests received

Requested Thu 23 February 2017
Responded Thu 23 February 2017

• How many FOI requests did you authority receive for the years including and between 2010 and 2016? I would ask that the breakdown shows how many were successful and how many requests were denied?

• For each year, how many of the requests received were responded to within the 20 working days as stipulated by the act?

• For the requests that were denied, I would ask for a breakdown as to why the request was denied. For example, cost of compliance, failure of person to clarify response etc.
