Nottingham City Council FOI Compliance

Over on WhatDoTheyKnow there's an astounding FOI response from Nottingham City Council. The Council was asked how many FOI requests had been received in the previous two years and, of these, how of these were answered outside of the 20 day maximum. The answer? Astoundingly Nottingham City Council have answered that of the 1491 requests that were received 623 were not answered within 20 days - that amounts to 42% of all of Nottingham City Council's responses are in breach of the law of the land.


On the back of this we have requested information from ICO on the number of appeals submitted and the actions ICO has taken to challenge the Council's performance - an update will be posted when this is received.
