(a) I can confirm that as of today's date 3,556 requests have been
made under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
(b) Twenty-one of those requests pertain to the Royal Burgh of
Selkirk.
(c) No requests were paid for using the Burgh's Common Good Fund.
(d) As the Council did not use any monies from the Common Good Fund
I am unable to provide you with an answer to this request.
(e) Again, the Council did not use any funds from the Selkirk
Common Good Fund and am therefore unable to supply any information on
