Request or Question: I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act to request the following information:1. 2.
3. I would like you to confirm what repairs to council housing the council would define as falling
4. into "urgent" and "emergency" categories. If you have a document or list outlining what kind of repairs fall into these two categories, I would like you to provide me with a copy.
5.

*
* If the council does not have its own definitions for "urgent" and "emergency" repairs, I would
* appreciate you outlining how the council decides what constitutes an "emergency" or "urgent" repair.
*
*
*
* Alternatively, if the council uses other definitions for repairs of varying urgency, I would appreciate
* you providing me with details of these.

2.
3.
4. For both the "urgent" and "emergency" repair categories, I would like you to provide me with the
5. council's target time window (in days, or where shorter, in hours) for delivering the repair.
6.
I would like the data returned in a spreadsheet format preferably, but if this is not possible a word document is fine.
Response: Scottish Borders Council is a post stock transfer Council having successfully completed the large scale voluntary stock transfer of all its Council housing stock on 3 March 2003.

Therefore it no longer has any Council house repairs. We therefore rely on s17 of FOI(S)A 2002 and declare that the information is not held.
