Dear foi,

Thank you very much for your response. I am not completely satisfied on the way you dealt responding it, as you wrote the data directly as text, instead of providing me a XLSX file, which would be much easier both for you and for me, to collect and analyse the data, and to compare them with other councils responses.

However, I can close the request, but on further request Is much better if you provide the right format.
Anyway, I am very satisfied overall, as your is one of the councils who provided me exhaustive data's.
Yours sincerely,

Santino Pani
