Digging deep! More than a thousand Freedom of Information requests submitted to council during 2022


A TOTAL of 1,083 Freedom of Information requests were fielded by North East Lincolnshire Council during 2022.

Of these, 94 per cent were responded to within 20 working days. 

This information is revealed in a report to a meeting earlier this month of the authority's audit and governance committee.

Corresponding figures for  previous  years' FoI  requests are as follows:

2021: 1,010 

2020: 1,092 

2019: 1,418 

2018: 1,433 

2017: 1,285 

The report states: "Volumes are consistent with the last two years, but lower than the volumes received pre the Covid lockdown.

"No reason can be directly attributed for this reduction of circa 20 per cent  on pre-2020 figures."
