Request

I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 regarding reports of illegally imported pets within your council's jurisdiction. Specifically, I would like to request the following information for each calendar year from 2020 to the most recent year available: 

• The number of reports received by the council concerning suspected illegally imported pets. 
• The number of investigations conducted by the council into suspected illegally imported pets. 
• The number of cases where pets were found to have been illegally imported. 
• The number of illegally imported pets seized by the council. 

If available, a breakdown of the most commonly investigated breeds. 

If this information is held in a different format or by another authority, please advise on how I may obtain it. If any part of my request exceeds the cost limit, I would appreciate any guidance on refining the request to remain within limits.

Response

Dover District Council does not hold the information you are seeking. The trading standards authority within our District is Kent County Council, who should be able to assist you and can be contacted at the following address: freedomofinformation@kent.gov.uk.
