Dear Sir or Madam,
I wonder if you could look into what has happened my FOI request

It has now been over 20 days since I first enquired about your

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
