Dear Ross Evans

Thank you for your response.

Please note that other Councils have been far more willing to
provide information, as requested, in its complete form.

Therefore, please supply the information requested directly,
failure to do so could imply that Gravesham Borough Council might
be acting in a far from transparent fashion.

Yours sincerely,

R Soles
