Dear Andy

I acknowledge receipt of your most recent e-mail regarding Common Good.

For confirmation this has been forwarded onto the City Development for a
response.

I just wanted to clarify for the record that in my absence, Aimi
Richardson, FOI Officer (Children and Families Department) logged your
request this is why her name and title appeared on the acknowledgement
letter.

I trust this clarifies the position for you.

Regards

Karen Blair
