Dear Cheshire West and Chester Council,

Please may I have the managerial organisational structure for your

telephone numbers of all of the team members for each area. Also a
list of external suppliers used by the council.

Please could you clarify the organisation structure of the

You would think that this would be bog standard in terms of information, and readily available on their website - but its like a state secret at CWAC - partly because it changes so often no-one can keep up with it.
