Francis Irving left an annotation ( 4 August 2010)

The links beginning http://intranet.esinet.norfolk.gov.uk are internal to Norfol. That is what the word "intranet" means. They do not work for people on the Internet.

I'd write back to Norfolk, and ask them to give a public link to the documents, or attach them to their email.
