Please also provide finishing times for glass collection teams, trade collection teams and garden waste collection teams for the past 12 months. Section 12 of the Act makes provision for public authorities to refuse requests for information where the cost of dealing with them would exceed the appropriate limit, which for local government is set at £450. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 2.5 working days in determining whether the department holds the information, locating, retrieving and extracting the information. In answer to your request made under the Freedom Of Information Act 2000 I can confirm, in accordance with s.1 (1)(a), that the Council does hold the information you have requested. However the Council estimates that this would require approximately 800 employee clocking entries to be manually examined and the information extracted and correlated with the service the employee was deployed on in order to answer your request. R.MITCHELL, Chief Executive, Ashfield District Council. H.BARSBY, Chief Executive, Mansfield District Council. If reasonable adjustments are needed to fully engage with the Authority - contact 01623 450000 The Council has undertaken a test exercise by compiling a week’s worth of data in order to establish how long it would take to provide you with this information and it is estimated that it will take an average of 49 minutes per week of data. To assimilate the data over a one year period would take an estimated time of forty-two and a half hours to provide the information requested. I set out my calculation below. 1 week data x 49 minutes = 49 minutes Annual data 49 x 52 weeks = 2548 minutes = 42.5 hours We estimate that it will take the Council in excess of 2.5 working days to determine appropriate material and extract the information in reference to your request. Rather than refusing your request at this stage, I would like to explore with you how I may best assist you to request relevant information which the Council holds. Should you wish to discuss this matter or, if you have any queries relating to this letter please do not hesitate to contact me on [email protected] Please note that the 20 working days will not recommence until the Council has received a reply to this letter and should the Council not receive a response to this letter before 19 March 2018 your request will be closed accordingly Please also provide daily net weight totals for each of the collection crews mentioned above for the past 12 months. Please see attached spreadsheet which will answer your request. The data for net weights, daily by waste stream and crew, is separated by vehicle registration. You are free to use any information supplied to you for your own use, including non- commercial research purposes. However, any other type of re-use, for example, by publishing the information or issuing copies to the public may require the permission of the copyright owner. I trust that this response satisfies your request. If you have any queries please do not hesitate to contact us at [email protected] or by writing to Freedom of Information for Ashfield District Council, Urban Road, Kirkby-In-Ashfield, Nottingham NG17 8DA. Should you wish to request the Council undertake an Internal review of your Freedom of Information reply, then please contact Ruth Dennis, Director of Legal and Governance (Monitoring Officer) either by e-mail at [email protected] or by writing to Ruth Dennis, Director of Legal and Governance (Monitoring Officer) , Ashfield District Council, Urban Road, Kirkby-In-Ashfield, Nottingham, NG17 8DA, telephone: (01623) 457009. If you are not satisfied with how your request has been dealt with then you should complain by writing to the Director of Legal and Governance (Monitoring Officer) at Ashfield District Council, Urban Road, Kirkby-In-Ashfield, Nottingham, NG17 8DA. If you are still not satisfied with the outcome of your complaint then you have a right of appeal to the Information Commissioner’s Office: Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. www.ico.org.uk, Telephone - 0303 123 1113 (local rate) or 01625 545 745 if you prefer to use a national rate number.

    Rates Retention Scheme: Pooling Proposal 1. Pool title or description Nottinghamshire County Pool – all local authorities in Nottinghamshire (excluding Nottingham City Council, Nottinghamshire Fire Authority and Nottinghamshire Police Authority) 2. Lead Contact for pool; Paul Simpson Director of Finance & Procurement Nottinghamshire County Council County Hall West Bridgford, Nottingham, NG2 7QP 01159 773441 [email protected] 3. Local authorities included in pool: Nottinghamshire County Council, Ashfield District Council, Mansfield District Council, Gedling Borough Council, Bassetlaw District Council, Broxtowe Borough Council, Newark & Sherwood District Council and Rushcliffe Borough Council. 4. Counties and / or Local Enterprise Partnership(s) pool covers: The pooling area covers Nottinghamshire County, being the two-tier area comprising the County Council and the District Councils of Ashfield, Bassetlaw, Broxtowe, Gedling, Mansfield, Newark & Sherwood and Rushcliffe. At this time, the pool excludes Nottingham City Council and the Nottinghamshire Police and Fire authorities. The pooling area reflects longstanding relationships and service integration between the County and District levels and in part, relationships with the D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). 5. What is the aim / rationale for the pool? Please briefly describe: As referenced above, the pool builds on the already strong and well-established service relationships, with the overall aim of growing the local economy. Specifically, opportunities will be exploited to enhance the pool through links to wider funding sources such as the D2N2 LEP’s Growing Places Funding and potentially, European Funding where that exists. This will allow the partners to prioritise activity that increases the competitiveness of the area and stimulates private sector economic growth. It will also allow for the planning of economic growth across the functional economic area covered by the pool rather than being constricted by local authority administrative boundaries.

  • Mansfield District Council
    Submission of Mansfield District Council 1. Introduction 1.1 Mansfield District Council is currently represented by 46 members who represent 19 wards. Each ward is represented by either two or three members. These arrangements came into effect at the May 2003 District Council elections following a Periodic Electoral Review of the district in 1999 under the Local Government Act 1992. The Council holds full Council elections every four years. 1.2 Since October 2002 the Executive arrangements operated by the authority have comprised a directly elected Mayor and Cabinet. The directly elected Mayor is elected every four years with the term of office running concurrent with that of the members of the authority. 1.3 The implementation of Section 8 of the Local Government and Public Involvement in Health Act 2007 enabled Authorities which hold whole council elections to request the Electoral Commission to direct the Boundary Committee to undertake an electoral review with a view to providing for single member wards. 1.4 In July 2008 the Council considered a report from the directly elected Mayor to request the Electoral Commission to undertake an Electoral Review of the district with a view to establishing single member wards. This request was subsequently supported by the Council at a meeting held on 29 July 2008. 1.5 The Council received notification from the Boundary Committee for England on 22 June 2009 that it had been directed by the Electoral Commission to undertake an electoral review of the district. The review was formally commenced on 4 August 2009 and dealt with the consultation on the appropriate council size for the authority.
