I trust that this deals with your enquiry to your satisfaction, but if you feel that
Eastbourne Borough Council has misunderstood or not responded appropriately to your
request, you have two courses of action:
•
You can clarify the terms of your original request to allow this to be looked at
again (if you expand your request this will be dealt with as a new request)
•
All applicants have a 'right of appeal'. An appeal should be focused on the
original request and should identify how the Council’s response failed to answer
your Information Request. Appeals must be made in writing (e-mail) to the
address below.
