Cost of Olympic Torch Procession

The request was successful.

Juliet Ferguson

Dear Ards Borough Council,

Please can you tell me the cost to the council for allowing the
Olympic Torch to pass through the area covered by the council?

Please could you provide a breakdown of the costs such as extra pay
for staff, extra cost of policing, road closures, branded bunting
and other associated costs.

In addition, could you tell me what income, if any, was earned from
the procession from parking, selling advertising space etc

And finally, if you did have any grant funding or sponsorship, can
you tell me how much was provided by LOCOG?

I would like this information in electronic form. If you require
further clarification, please let me know.

Yours faithfully,

Juliet Ferguson

Ards Borough Council

Dear Ms Ferguson,

Thank you for your freedom of information request.

Please find responses to your queries below in bold:

Please could you provide a breakdown of the costs such as extra pay for
staff, extra cost of policing, road closures, branded bunting and other
associated costs.
- Please find a detailed breakdown of costs on the attached spreadsheet

In addition, could you tell me what income, if any, was earned from the
procession from parking, selling advertising space etc
- The Council did not receive any income from the event

And finally, if you did have any grant funding or sponsorship, can you
tell me how much was provided by LOCOG?
- No funding or sponsorship was provided by the London Organising
Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games

I trust the above is of assistance, however, I would like to advise you
that if you are not happy with the way in which your request has been
dealt with an internal review can be sought through the office of the
Chief Executive.

If you are still not satisfied following the internal review you can ask
the Information Commissioner's Office to review the Council's decision.

Thanks,
Aaron
