Dear Mr Alun Williams,

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (Ref. T19889)

I am writing to confirm that the Council has now completed its search for

given:

In accordance with Section 5 of the Local Government Act 1986, local
authorities must keep a separate account of expenditure on publicilty
defined as being any communication, in whataver form, addressed to the
public at large or to a section of thte public. Net expenditure by the
Council on publicity in 2008/09 amounted to £824,595. This includes al
the expenditure on advertising for all purposes. This compares with
£835,400 in 207/08.

This information is published on page 30 of the Council's annual statement
of accounts for 2008/09 which can be viewed on the Council website. The
direct websire link to this information is:

Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act makes provision for public
authorities to refuse requests for information where the cost of dealing
with them would exceed the appropriate limit, which for local government
is set at £450. It is estimated that breaking down this information in
