Dear FOI Officer,

You tell me that no payments have been made to this organisation in any form. Yet evidence which I have appears to show this organisation requesting payments from the Council for work it conducted. Please see this document dated 10 February 2008: https://ufile.io/m6r6z

This therefore appears to be a highly misleading response and I am now requesting an internal review as to how the Council have got this request so spectacularly wrong.

Yours sincerely,

Christopher Marshall
