Dear Mr Dudley

Re: Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Request for Information

I refer to your email sent on the 20^th March 2010 and I note that your email is a request pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act and in the circumstances I can advise you as follows:

a) The Council has a duty to confirm or deny that it holds recorded information that an applicant seeks from it and a duty to supply the information requested, subject to any exemption that may apply.

b) However, under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 the right of access is to the information and not the documents.

The details you requested are attached.

If you are dissatisfied with the Freedom of Information response set out in this letter you are able to utilise the Council's complaints procedure, details of which can be found at www.bassetlaw.gov.uk

In addition, information to any right of appeal to the Information Commissioner may be found at www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk or by writing to Information Commissioner, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF (telephone 06125 545745), email [email address]

Yours sincerely,

Lisa Hunter
