Sara King made this Freedom of Information request to Exeter City Council

The request was successful.

From: Sara King

3 February 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

Please supply me with the following information:

1. Does your Council provide councillors with an email facility
which allows them to receive and send email using your council's
email address?

2. If you do have such a facility are councillors able to access
the system from their home or other remote location?

3. Does your council allow email sent to councillors to be
auto-forwarded to unsecure external email addresses such as
hotmail?

4. If auto-forwarding is allowed how many of your councillors are
having their email auto-forwarded?

Yours faithfully,

Sara King
