Dear Christopher Walledge,

You state that you use a Freepost address to enable the return of
questionnaires, surveys and other responses specifically requested
by the Authority

Is the Freepost address used for statutory consultations ?

By refusing to provide your Freepost address to persons not on your
consultee list , you reduce the number of people responding to the
consultations .

It could be argued that the increased response rate to your
consultations would have a detrimental impact on the Authority’s
finances as I suspect that processing the consultation responses
costs more than the price of a stamp

If your Freepost address forms part of your public consultation
literature then I consider that it should be disclosed as public
consultation literature is exactly that - public

When applying the public interest test did you estimate the amount
of increased mail you would be receiving ?

Other National Park Authorities have disclosed their Freepost
addresses and do not appear to have experienced any adverse impact

Yours sincerely,

Barbara Whittle
