Dear David

The definition of a Local Authority, which Birmingham City Council is, an
organisation that is officially responsible for all the public services and
facilities in a particular area.

We hope this concludes your enquiry.

Dear Birmingham City Council,

Thank you for the recent reply .

So your in charge of all the public services in the local area ?

By this i can only assume within birmingham am i correct ?

Is the Birmingham City Council Responiable for any other council ie
one in london or scotland or wales perhaps ?
In relation to the above 3 questions, the public services for
which Birmingham City Council is responsible for and the local area
covered is on the Council's website. This can be accessed by logging onto
Birmingham.gov.uk

Who does Birmingham City Council hold it's current public liability
insurance with ?
Zurich Municipal Insurance Co

In relation to the Liability Insurance this is in line with some
questions i have asked so is relevant .
This is not a valid FOI request.

Yours faithfully,
