About Freedom of Information
The London Borough of Redbridge is in the process of
pro-actively publishing the datasets of information that we hold on
our website, Redbridge i. Some of the information will be
exempt under FOI or Data Protection, and this will be removed or
redacted. You may wish to look at the website to see if the
information you want is already available – you can search the
datasets using a user friendly tool we have developed called
Datashare and for your convenience, this is a link to the
DataShare tool.
A list of Freedom of Information requests already
made from January 2010 onwards is available on Datashare and
if someone else has already requested the information you are
interested in, you can obtain a copy by emailing publications@redbridge.gov.uk
and quoting the reference number. Please be aware that
information personal to the previous applicant will be removed and
there may be a charge for making the copies. If the
information is not already available, you can make a formal request
for information.

Freedom of Information requests must be
in writing:
You can do this by
If you wish information to be supplied in a hard copy
format, please make sure you state that in your request.
There may be a charge payable for supplying information in this
format, but you will be told if that is going to be the case, and
what the cost will be.
A public authority is entitled to treat as invalid a request
where the real name of the applicant (whether an individual or a
corporate body) has not been used.
• Requests involving known pseudonyms cannot be the subject of a
valid complaint to the Information Commissioner under section 50 of
the FOIA.
• Where a public authority knows that a pseudonym has been used,
as a matter of good practice it should still consider the request
if identity is not relevant and it is content to disclose the
information requested, even though technically the request is
invalid.
• Either an email or postal address is acceptable as an address
for correspondence.
