Request
I would like to make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for the following data: * How many scrap metal dealer sites currently have a site licence in your area/council/authority? * How many scrap metal collectors (mobile) currently have a site licence in your area/council/authority? * When did you last share these data with the Environment Agency to enable them to add them to the Register? In addition, under the same FOI, I would be grateful if you could tell me: * How much were your licences (site and collector each) in 2025? * How much do you intend to charge (respectively) in 2026? * How many visits to scrap metal sites have your officers undertaken in 2025? Many thanks in advance for help with this matter.
