Dear Enviro,

On the 30th January I submitted a request to Gloucester County
Council for information on allotments. The reply was that my
request had been passed on to Gloucester City Council, with no
explanation of why.

I would be very grateful for a short explanation. Is it because the
County Council holds no information on allotments?

Yours sincerely,

Margaret Campbell

Dear Ms Campbell

Thank you for your email, received in the Contact Centre at Gloucester
City Council. Your original email was passed to us to deal as we are
responsible for allocating allotments in Gloucester City. This is a local
authority function (so each of the other local authorities in
Gloucestershire - Tewkesbury Borough Council, Stroud District Council,
Forest of Dean District Council etc are responsible themselves for
allotments).

I hope this is helpful. If we can provide any further information, please
do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely

M Lightstone (Mrs)
Customer Services Team Supervisor (Contact Centre)
