Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to know the
following information:

1) How many staff work in communications, marketing, advertising,
promotions and public relations in your authority. For the
avoidance of doubt this should include staff in a central
department and directorates, plus any retained freelance workers.

2) The structure of communications, marketing, advertising,
promotions and public relation (ie structure chart/organogram with
job roles)

3) The job title of the most senior staff member employed in
communications, marketing, advertising, promotions and public
relation.

4) The age of the most senior staff member employed in
communications, marketing and public relations.

5) The average age of staff members employed in communications,
marketing, advertising, promotions and public relation.

6) The proportion of staff members employed in communications,
marketing, advertising, promotions and public relation holding a)
journalistic qualifications b) public relations qualifications c)
marketing qualifications

I would like to receive the information electronically by this
website.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, I ask that you justify
all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I
will also expect you to release all non-exempt material. I reserve
the right to appeal your decision to withhold any information or to
charge excessive fees.

I would be grateful if you could confirm by email that you have
received this request. I look forward to your response within 20
working days,

Yours Faithfully,

Peter J. Kemp
