Cost of council meetings in the last 12 months

Roedd y cais yn rhannol lwyddiannus.

Dear Harrow Borough Council,

I am writing to request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

1. The costs of resources for council meetings between January 2020 - March 2021 broken down by month. This includes both in person meetings and virtual meetings over Zoom or similar.

2. Councillor allowances and expenses between January 2020 - March 2021, broken down by month and type of spending.

I would like to receive the information by email in a spreadsheet format. If one part of the request can be answered sooner than the others, please send that information first followed by any subsequent data. If you need further clarification please contact [email address]

If my request is denied in whole or in part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemption of the act. I will also expect you to release all non-exempt material.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request. I look forward to receiving your response within 20 days as outlined by statute.

Yours faithfully,

Lizzie Ellis

Dear Ms. Ellis
 
Thank you for your request for information received on 26 March 2021 
 
This request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
 
I am writing to ask you to clarify your request. This is because we need
further details from you in order to identify and locate the information.

Regarding the 1st question you have stated:
1. The costs of resources for council meetings between January 2020 -
March 2021 broken down by month. This includes both in person meetings and
virtual meetings over Zoom or similar.

Can you please go into more detail of what you mean by "cost of
resources"?  Is the resources part of your question to do with what
equipment the councillors were using and the cost of it?  Can you please
expand, as I need more information; and it is not clear from the question
you have posed what you actually require.
 
I will not be able to take this matter further without this extra
information from you. Please let me know by 05/04/2021.
 
If I do not hear from you within the timeframe provided, I shall take it
that you do not wish to pursue this request and will consider the request
closed.
 
If you need assistance, please contact me on [email address].
Please remember to quote our reference number, 6156995, in any future
communications.
 
Kind regards
