In accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, we request the following information: 1) The number of households your local authority has placed on caravan sites and/or camping sites in the last 3 financial years for use as temporary, emergency or permanent accommodation, if any? Please provide the numbers down broken down year-by-year. (Note: if you are unable to provide data for 2022/23, please take the previous three full financial years i.e. 2019/20 to 2021/22) (Note: caravan or camping sites includes static homes) 2) A list of the caravan and/or camping sites the local authority has placed households in with a breakdown of how many households were placed in each site in each given year. 3) The length of stay of each household at the caravan or camping site. (Note: If you are unable to answer question 2 for any reason, please still provide an answer to Question 3 without disclosing the name of the camping/caravan site). 4) The amount of money the local authority has paid for households to stay in caravan or camping sites in the last three full financial years. Can you please provide a breakdown of how much each caravan and/or camping site was paid? 5) Has the council fully acquired i.e. purchased a caravan or camping site for the purpose of housing households in the past three full financial years? As you know, under the Act you are required to provide a response within 20 working days. If you do not provide the information requested, you must explain the legal basis for the information being withheld. If you decline part of the request due to information being sensitive, the request being too vague, or reasonable cost being exceeded, you must still provide the part you can fulfil. If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits, please provide advice and assistance as to how I can refine my request. Thank you for your help with this request. I look forward to hearing from you.
