Dear Julia Matthews,

All documented North Lincolnshire Council contact with
ClearSprings, if possible, please.

Thank you.

Dear Julia Matthews,

I don't quite understand what you want clarifying. I am requesting
all documented contact (e-mail, letters, etc.) between the local
authority (North Lincs. Council) and ClearSprings.

Thank you.

Dear Mr Shutt

Thank you for your information request. The council received this on 14
May 2009.

The council is only able to meet part of your request.

This is because some of the information you have sought is not available
for release under one of the exemptions set out in the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.

I can inform you that North Lincolnshire Council do have contact with
Clearsprings on a case by case basis.

However, the Council would not be able to supply information of this
nature as any such information would be subject to the Exemption contained
in Section 40 subsections (2)(b) and (3)(a) of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000, on the grounds that disclosure would be a breach of the Data
Protection Principles in respect of service users.

To write to each individual concerned would bring this request outside of
the charging provisions for Freedom of Information requests.

are not entitled to reuse the information in any way without the express
permission of the Council.

with the terms of the licence for such permission supplying the following
information,

* state the purpose for which the document is to be re-used

Please note that you may be charged for the information you have requested
and you are referred to the Council's standard scale of charges, which can

[2]www.northlincs.gov.uk/northlincs/councilanddemocracy/policyandperformance/freedomofinformation
so that you can see what the charge might be.
