Dear Mr. Walker,

REQUEST FOR INFORMATION UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000

Further to your email of 26 January 2009, pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I must advise you that the main reason that the “Improvements to the Flag Market” report was restricted is that we needed to be able to notify the “winner” and the Landscape Institute before it was reported in the press.

I enclose a copy of the report for your information. (A small portion has been redacted in relation to financial matters).

If you have any queries regarding the information provided, please contact me in the first instance for assistance.

If you are then still not happy with the information provided, please write to the address below setting out your reasons within 21 days of receipt of this letter:-
