Lancefield Quay (outside City Inn).
4) Number of known complaints from public / councillors that

Dear Sir or Madam,
I wonder if you could look into what has happened my FOI request
RQST00002490364?
It has now been over 20 days since I first enquired about your
policy on obstructive signs on pavements.
I would be grateful if you could launch an internal review into the
delay.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir or Madam,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of
Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Glasgow Council's
handling of my FOI request 'Obstructive advertising signs on
pavements'.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is
available on the Internet at this address:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/ob...
The reason I am unhappy is that it does not fully answer my
original point (1). In particular, other parts of the response
refer to the following:
- "existing procedure for granting permission to place advertising
boards on the footway"
- "permanent sign erected to the required standard for signs"
I would be grateful if you could send me full copies of these
procedures and standards. If possible, I would prefer the documents
in an accessible electronic format rather than scanned jpegs (i.e.
so I can search through text and copy&paste selected passages).
Thank you for your full response to all other parts to my request.
Yours faithfully,
Conor McNally
