I made a request under (English) FoI to my local council for all emails that I had written or that concerned me in relation to a rubbish collection problem.
I would have specified all papers or emails that contained my name in relation to the rubbish collection at my block of flats.
After reminding the Council that I could make a request by email I received a stack of papers about 2 inches thick.

Subject: [data-protection] DP/FOI
Hi All
I received a request from ex-employee for information about investigation/report under FOISA and contained in the letter was a request under Data protection for all information on the individual. Initially I just treated it as DP but the investigation/report contained information on other people (which would probably be exempt under FOISA) anyway. Would you treat them as separate? The reason I had to look at it again was that I received an e-mail from the individual asking for an acknowledgement of the request under FOISA.
Thanks,
Doreen
