Cost codes

The request was successful.

Dear South Northamptonshire District Council,

This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.

I wish to receive a list of your organisation’s cost codes and a description of what each code stands for. I use the term “cost codes” to refer to codes used by the council relating to a specific area of spending. If the council uses a different term for such spending areas, I would like to be informed of such difference.

I would like this information to be presented as follows:

Cost code: xxxx Description: xxxx (what this cost code represents)

I would like to receive this information electronically, in an Excel spreadsheet. If you feel that a substantive response to this request is not possible within a reasonable time frame I would be grateful if you could contact me and provide assistance as to how I can refine the request. I look forward to receiving a response in 20 working days. Many thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Jenna Corderoy

Admin, CCC (SNC), South Northamptonshire District Council

Freedom of Information Act 2000

The Council is dealing with your request under the Freedom of Information Act. This means the Council has 20 working days to respond to your request. Unless the Council does not have the information or determines that, if it has the information, it is not required to release it to you, the Council should send you the information requested, or a notification of the cost of supplying that information.

There are two circumstances in which you may be asked to pay for information provided as a result of your request.

1. If you are provided with any information as a result of your request, you will be required to pay the Council's disbursements in providing that information. Please note there is no limit on the amount you may be charged, although you will not be charged at all if the disbursements amount to less than £450.00.

Disbursements consist of any costs arising from:

- Complying with your request for the information to be provided in a particular format;
- Reproducing the document;
- Costs of postage or fax.

You will be notified of any disbursement costs once the Council is in a position to provide the information requested and the Council will not release the information until these costs have been paid. You will have 3 months to pay the disbursement costs from the date you are notified of these costs.

2. The Council may also determine that it is not obliged to release the information because it will cost more than £450 to locate, retrieve and extract the requested information. If this is the case, the Council may still offer to provide the information for the amount it will cost for it to do this. In this case you will be notified of the cost of this information before it is supplied at which point you will have 3 months to decide whether or not you wish to pay this cost.

You may also be required to pay disbursements on top of this amount.

If the Council confirms it has the information but considers that it is not required to release it, you will be given a written notification detailing why the information is not being released.
