Please supply me, where appropriately under the regulations, with the following information;

2) The Quarterly costs of maintaining the grass area detailed in 1 above.
3) The details of who is legally responsible for the payment of the costs in 2 above. Where the release of this data would identify a living individual, please supply details of the nature of the owner (council, individual, housing association, etc).
4) The amount of money raised for the quarterly costs from owners and tenants in the surrounding area of the grass area identified in 1 above.
5) The number of houses who are asked to contribute to any costs detailed in 2 above. Where possible, please break this information down by whether they are home owners, council tenants, private tenants, etc.
