Request

I would like to make a Freedom of Information (FOI) request for the following data:

•    How many scrap metal dealer sites currently have a site licence in your area/council/authority?
•    How many scrap metal collectors (mobile) currently have a site licence in your area/council/authority?
•    When did you last share these data with the Environment Agency to enable them to add them to the Register?

In addition, under the same FOI, I would be grateful if you could tell me: 

•    How much were your licences (site and collector each) in 2025?
•    How much do you intend to charge (respectively) in 2026?
•    How many visits to scrap metal sites have your officers undertaken in 2025?
