Dear Mr Rucki,

Thank you for your email dated I November 2010 in which you have
requested, among other matters information regarding the current odometer
reading on the Mayoral BMW

730LD SE.

We are considering your request under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. In your initial request you asked for the following
information:

"Under the freedom of information act may I be informed of the make and
model of automobile used to chauffeur the mayor of Croydon to functions
within your borough and beyond.

I would also like to know the mileage clocked up on this automobile in the
past two financial years."

In your response of 26 October you have asked for additional information
including price paid, seller information and odometer readings which did
not form part of your initial request and accordingly your further request
has been logged as a new Freedom of Information request.

We are considering your request under the terms of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000, and hope to respond within the statutory 20 working
days.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the case, either
myself or a colleague will let you know the likely charges before
proceeding.

If you have any queries about this email, please contact me. Please
remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.
