Dear Neil Harris,
Why not ask the Leader directly.
The Kent County Council conservative leader is prepared to answer
questions directly, so it would appear most unusual for your
conservative leader at borough level not to respond within the same
vein, with a simple yes or no.
Unless of course there is something to hide?
Yours sincerely,
Mr B Gerrish

Dear Maidstone Borough Council Leader Christopher Garland,
For your convenience this FOI request was directed for your
attention on 12th August 2009 and a direct response is required,
accordingly with Maidstone Borough Council claim to providing
transparent services.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Christopher Garland Maidstone Borough Council Leader,
Please confirm when a direct response can be expected and if you
have any intention of operating fully with the FOIA.
It appears pointless in pretending to deliver a transparent service
if you are so reluctant to answer any direct questions relating to
your own conduct.
Yours faithfully,
Mr B Gerrish
