Dear Mr Carruthers

Freedom of Information Request - Functions Council

Thank you for your e-mails dated 24 August 2008 and 26 August 2008. We are treating this as a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Normally, if we hold the information, we will let you have it as soon as we can, but in any case within twenty working days. If your request involves more than one section within the Council, you may possibly receive more than one letter in response. This is so that you can have the information as quickly as possible.

If we believe that there is a good reason why any of the information should not be disclosed, we will let you know as much as we can about how we reached our decision.

We hope you will be happy with our service. But if you are not satisfied with the way your request is being handled, please contact—

Freedom of Information Officer

Ryedale House, Malton, North Yorkshire

or email [Ryedale District Council request email]

and your complaint will be considered by an Appeal Panel.

If, after their decision, you are still not happy, you may appeal to—

The Information Commissioner

Wycliffe House, Water Lane,

Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF

Tel: 01625 545745 Fax: 01625 524510
