Request

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request the following information:

• A yearly list of all councillors, from shortly after the May elections in each year, who have been elected on the council from the year 2000 to 2016.

• For each councillor, please include their name, party, and ward, and where possible their start and end dates of service.

I am happy to receive the information in any convenient format (e.g. CSV, spreadsheet, or typed document). We are also happy to receive copies of, or links to, existing documents or meeting minutes that show this information. Please direct us to existing sources of information where appropriate.

Answer: The service area has advised they don’t hold a yearly list of councillors and their dates of service. The only documentation that they hold would be the election results throughout the years.

Anything older can be requested by emailing elections@herefordshire.gov.uk as this may take some time to prepare.

You can also manually review our website for all meetings held which contains the names of all councillors who attended – Please see the link below if this is something that will help.

As such we consider this information to be exempt under Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 because it is reasonably accessible to you via other means. Please take this letter as a refusal notice under S17 of the Act.
