Dear Mrs Johnson

I do apologise for the delayed response to your enquiry, however some of the relevant files had been archived.

a) I attach a table with the information required.

b) and c) The Council accepted and acted on all findings against it when a report was last issued in 1998/9.

Regards Sarah
