PLEASE NOTE THAT FAILURE TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE.


Good luck

And knowing how some people don't cooperate even when they should, what can you do after this if for whatever reason you still don't receive the information you're requesting?

In this case you can ask the local authority to prosecute or take a private prosecution out in the magistrates court yourself. Its quite simple -request made and not responded to.
