You will do so by taking ownership of the end-to-end information request process, including receiving and triaging a request, locating relevant information held by Bristol City Council, considering any exemptions from disclosure, carrying out redactions where necessary, providing an appropriate response to the requester, and ensuring that statutory deadlines are met.
