The first new FoIA request was submitted on 04/01/2012.  Some of this information went unanswered the last time around, so we are hoping for better luck this time.

1) how many more primary school applicants than there were places available a) broken down by Ward or school
2) how many more applicants than places there were by school on the basis of first preferences and second preferences and third preferences (as one can’t necessarily count as if they are all first preferences)
3) what data and method is being used to predict the numbers of residents of primary school age in H&F for the next five years – and if that information includes migration out of Borough and if so, in what way
4) how many primary school places are currently available within H&F, by Ward (so as to know how many seats available, regardles of who applies for them)
5) what primary schools have been offered bulge classes in H&F for the years 2012/2013 and onward
6) what free schools groups have put in expressions of interest for opening a primary school in 2012/2013 and 2013/2014 and for how many forms of entry
7) a list of all council owned property that is currently vacant or has a lease expiring within the next three years
