Dear Mr Carroll-Owen,

 

The Council reasonably requires further information from you in order to
identify and locate the information that you are seeking.

 

In particular, please could you clarify whether you require us to just
answer the first question?

 

Please note, under section 1(3) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) a
public authority need not comply with a request unless any further
information reasonably required to locate the information is supplied; I
will not be able to take this matter further without receiving this extra
information from you.  If I do not receive clarification within three
months your request will be considered to have lapsed.   

 

Once your clarification is received, the Council will begin to process
your request.
