I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.Specifically, I would be grateful if you could provide copies of the two most recent Periodical Zoo Inspection Reports for each animal collection currently licensed under the Zoo Licensing Act 1981 within your local authority's jurisdiction. I would prefer that the information be provided in electronic format (PDF or similar) and sent via email if possible.The requested information is being sought in support of academic research towards an MSc in Animal Welfare by Research at the University of Lincoln. The research project has received ethical approval from the University's Ethics Committee. Should you require confirmation of this, the committee can be contacted at ethics@lincoln.ac.uk, citing Ethics Reference: 2026_22176.If any part of this request is unclear or if the cost of compliance is likely to exceed the appropriate limit, please do not hesitate to contact me so that I may refine the request accordingly.If you consider that any of the requested information is exempt from disclosure, please specify the exemption relied upon and provide the relevant reasoning in accordance with the Act.I look forward to your response within the statutory timeframe of 20 working days.
