Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you please detail, for each year since your public website was
launched, how much money has been spent on creating, developing,
and running it.

Where possible, please break these costs out by function (for
example, development, design, updates, changes, hosting,
co-location, domain registration, licensing etc). Where the costs
have been incurred with external providers, please list the company
in question. For internal staff time, if this is not recorded
and/or charged explicitly, please provide estimates based on
salary/overheads of people involved.

Yours faithfully,

Nick

Dear Sir/Madam,

Please take this as a formal complaint regarding the handling of my
FOI enquiry, and a request for an internal review.

There were any number of procedural failures on the part of the
Council, including, but not limited to: * taking significantly
longer than the statutorily allowable time period without any
explanation or apology * rejecting part of the request without
issuing a formal refusal notice * where information is not held in
the format requested, failing to provide assistance that would help
me request what relevant information _is_ available * failure to
inform me of your internal review procedure * failure to notify me
of my rights to complain

Further, I find some of the information provided to be completely
incredible (for example the seemingly magical creation of a website
at zero cost).

Finally, although it is not strictly an FOI complaint, I would like
to complain on a personal level that my request has been handled by
someone who appears to either be illiterate or drunk.

Please confirm receipt of this email and provide an indication of
when I might expect a response.

Yours sincerely,

Nick
