Labour controlled Haringey Council is failing to reply to Freedom of Information requests within the legal requirement of 20 days.

To mark the anniversary of the introduction of the Act, Liberal Democrat Focus Editors and councillors have highlighted the fact that in Haringey four out of ten requests are not answered on time.

Councillor Neil Williams, Leader of the Liberal Democrat opposition group on Haringey Council says:

“This abysmal performance reflects the Haringey Labour Council’s commitment to open and honest government. This is simply not acceptable. This Act is to enable people to quickly and easily access information about how their Council is run.This is yet another example of Labour failing the people of Haringey.”
