Learn why this is important (https://aka.ms/LearnAboutSenderIdentification) ** Warning External Email ** Dear Barnet NSLThank you for your letter dated 11/07/25 and received 5 days later, on 16/07/25. I am disappointed by your standard response: It fails to give proper consideration to the points raised and address them.1.Your own photographic evidence demonstrates the impracticality of the location of the signs. This will be dealt with separately.2.Your own failure to act to a Freedom Of Information Request (FOIR). You do not appear to appreciate that under this legislation you have to provide the information requested within 20 working days of receiving my request (made on 23/06/25). This information should be accessible as you work/provide a service on behalf of LB Barnet and it is data you should already/readily be collecting. Following your failure to either acknowledge, respond or provide details as to why my request has not been responded to in the allotted time (20 days), I am prepared to report this matter to the Information Commissioner Office (ICO). However, I will first give you the opportunity to reflect on your failure to respond to my simple request. For information I copied LB of Barnet into this email so they are aware of your failure to respond. They could choose to respond on your behalf in a timely fashion. The original FIOR submission was made 23/06/2025 21:48:20. 20 days was due 13 July 25; legal requirement to respond. I will provide a further opportunity to respond by close of play 28 July 25; this provides you with a total of 35 days, which is exceedingly reasonable. After this time, in the absence of a response, I will report your failure to the ICO.To assist with your response the FIOR is provided again below for convenience:FREEDOM of INFORMATION REQUESTFurthermore, I wish to make a Freedom of Information Request (FIOR).
