Dear Mr Young

I've been informed that the information you've requested is held by
www.prospectleicestershire.co.uk and not by the County Council. This
firm can answer FOI requests on our behalf as they are a firm that is
'guaranteed' by the City and County Council to promote Leicestershire.

Please let me know if the information held on this website is sufficient
for your enquiry.

Regards
Dawn Boor
on behalf of Leicestershire County Council

I Young left an annotation (26 January 2010)

"Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of Information
Act. Your enquiry has been escalated to me by a junior member of staff
because of the offensive nature of your email address."

They went on to tell me that all of the information is on their website, which you have to register for. It is on there, just not in a user friendly way (like an excel spreadsheet)

Dear Mr Young

Further to my recent email, I'd be grateful if you could confirm whether
or not the website has been of use to you. This will enable me to
close the FOI request accordingly, as it's currently on hold pending
your response.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Dear Dawn Boor,

Yes, that link was fine, it just didn't have the length of how long
it has been vacant, but it is still suited to my needs...

Thank you,

Yours sincerely,
