Dear Sir/Madam, 
 
 
Freedom of Information Act 2000  
Request for Information: Stage 1 Appeal 
Please quote our reference: E3747 
Subject: Cllr P Murphy/Bus Services 
 
 
Thank you for your Stage 1 appeal. 
 
The agreement has not been signed and not available for release. In the circumstances we 
have applied Section 43 (Commercial Interests) as it would, or would be likely to, prejudice 
the commercial interests of the council.  Please contact us again in the next six months. 
 
If you require any further information or are not happy with our response please do not 
hesitate to contact a member of our team on (020) 8430 3737 or email us at 
[Newham Borough Council request email].  
 
If you are not satisfied with the decision, you may ask for an internal review via Newham 
Council Complaints Procedure. I enclose a copy of the procedure.  
 
 
Yours Faithfully
