How Much Council Tax Is Actually Used For the Benefit Of The People

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the rules of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please
supply me with accounting that shows the exact amount of money paid
by the inhabitants of Leicester in council tax, that is used for
the actual benefit of the inhabitants, as opposed to monies used
for the running of the council ie wages, expenses, pension schemes,
investment schemes etc.

Please note that the ICO guidelines (and they are only guidelines)
quite clearly state that:

"Although one of the underlying principles of the FOIA is that the
identity of the
applicant is not taken into account, it can be relevant in certain
circumstances.
For example, when:

• a request is being made by the applicant for his/her own personal
data
and so would be exempt under section 40(1) of the FOIA (and would
comprise a subject access request under the Data Protection Act
1998);
• a public authority has good reason to believe a requester is
using a
pseudonym to shield his/her identity in order to avoid the
possibility of
the request being considered as vexatious or repeated; or
• determining whether to aggregate costs for two or more requests
in
accordance with the Fees Regulations. "

My family name does not need to be submitted for this to be a valid
request and in the interest of my own personal and financial
security, I choose not to submit it.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully,

Keith
