Dear Mr Radcliffe

Freedom of Information Act 2000 - Information Request

Thank you for your request for information about Mayoral hospitality. Your
request for information was received on 18 December 2009.

Your request is being considered and you will receive the information
requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working days, by 25 January
2010, subject to the information not being exempt from disclosure. If you
require the information in an alternative format, please let me know.

You also asked about town twinning in Workington. I understand that this
is organised by Workington Town Council. Therefore you will have to make
the request to them as we do not hold the information requested. They can
be contacted at: Clerk Mr P Hayes

Town Clerk to Workington, Regeneration Centre, Town Hall, Workington, CA14
2RS;

email: [1][email address] . I can forward details
of your request to them if you so wish.

For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions which may
prevent the release of the information you have requested. There will be
an assessment and if any of the exemption categories apply then the
information will not be released. You will be informed if this is the
case, including your rights of appeal. In some circumstances a fee may be
payable and if this is the case, I will let you know. A fees notice will
be issued and you will be required to pay before we will proceed to deal
with your request.

If you have any further queries or concerns then please contact the
Information and Records Officer at Allerdale Borough Council, Allerdale
House, Workington CA14 3YJ, telephone 01900 702701, or email
