Dear Claire Thomas,

Please compile with parts (2) & (4) of the orginal request.(below)

2. Name all employees who have attended a Common Purpose course?

4. Please provide copies of invoices/receipts.

And confirm whether or not $2,820.00 was a mistake and was supposed

Dear Sir

Firstly I can confirm that $2, 800.00 was indeed an error and it should
have read '£2, 800.00'

Secondly, I have attached copies of the invoices. This training was
attended by the then Performance Monitoring Officer and the Environmental
Health Manager, neither of whom are still in the employ of the Council.
Their posts are not of sufficient seniority to warrant disclosure of their
names; which would also have implications under the Data Protection Act.

Regards

Claire Thomas
