NEW: We've taken action against Lewisham Council for failing to respond to hundreds of Freedom of Information requests. At the end of 2022 the Council had: 👉338 overdue requests for information, 👉221 requests over 12 months old, 👉requests in their backlog from December 2020

By failing to respond to these requests, Lewisham Council is keeping hundreds of people in the dark about information they have a right to ask for. People need to have confidence in the decisions being made by their local authority and this Council’s failure to comply with the law erodes trust in democracy and open government.
