Dear Sir or Madam,

Can you please tell me if any research has ever been conducted or
commissioned relating to the Council's web site? (For example, what
the public would like to see on it, how usable it is, etc.) This
should not include wide-ranging eternal studies that survey many
council sites at once, if not directly requested by the Council,
but solely research that the Council itself has carried out or
directly authorised. This should include any research carried out
amongst staff or council members, and even informal or ad hoc
research (such as collating comments made) should be included.

If any such research has been performed, I would request electronic
copies of any final reports and/or presentations produced, along
with details of when the report was produced, by whom, and at what
cost.

Yours faithfully,

Colin

Mr Marshall

Before we can begin processing your request under FOI we require you to
supply your full postal address.

I await this in due course.

Regards

Dear Lorraine Purdy,

Thank you for your response. Section 8.1.b of the Act merely asks
for an "address for correspondence", and the email address you are
using is sufficient for that purpose.

I would note further that the Department for Constitutional Affairs
has provided guidance on this
(http://www.dca.gov.uk/foi/guidance/progu...), which
states: "If a request is received by email and, although no postal
address is given, the email address of the sender is included, then
this should be treated as the return address."

I trust that this will suffice, and look forward to your response.

Yours sincerely,

Colin

Hi

I can confirm no such research has ever been commissioned by Banbridge
District Council.
