Please provide dates and content of all e-mail exchanges between Devon County Council (including agents/contractors working on its behalf) and representatives of the Royal National Institute of the Blind (RNIB), between the dates 30 April 2023 and 1st June 2023. I confirm I am particularly interested in the Highways department.
Compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. We would have to check all the emails of Highways staff for correspondence with the RNIB. With over 300 staff at 10 minutes for each member of staff this would take 50 hours to provide and is in excess of the 18 hours of officer time.
Under the Act, there is a duty to provide advice and assistance as to how a request can be refined to fit within the appropriate limit. Unfortunately, due to the way the data is held, this is not possible for this request.
