1. The ICO state that an FOI can be made by multiple mechanisms, including email & in person. Can you please explain why you don't accept requests by email?
Wokingham Borough Council accepts requests via email (Informationrequests[at]Wokingham.gov.uk). The FOI Act states that a request must be submitted in writing for it to be valid. Subject Access requests and Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) can be submitted verbally unlike FOI, however, the Council will make reasonable adjustments for individuals who are unable to submit Freedom of Information requests in writing based on circumstances for the Equalities Act.
