Dear FOI Officer,

Dear Sir,

Thanks you for the prompt reply.

My request came from a background of the elected mayor not declaring an interest for this company as a director and reference to the ANEC Association of which I can find no current record.
I note in your answer that you did not provide full details of the financial costs of ANEC Ltd. Can you please clarify how much the membership fee costs for this trading name of ANEC Ltd.

Yours sincerely,

John Walley

FOI Officer, North Tyneside Metropolitan Borough Council
