Dear Mr Hopkins

Your request for information has now been considered. The information
requested is as follows;

How many full-time employees you have who are aged 65 or over.

How many part-time employees you have who are aged 65 or over.

Staff aged 65 or over as requested as of 15/06/09

This includes all areas of the Council except schools. Schools directly
employed staff are not included because the data is not available for all
schools due to each school making it's own HR \ Payroll arrangements and
in some cases staff are not employees of the Council. Centrally employed
roles such as School Crossing Patrollers are included.

Some persons over 65 are also engaged in paid work for specific projects
such as election staffing, though these are not employees of the Council
and therefore excluded.

Each person only counted once though a number hold more than one
employment.

Designs and Patents Act 1988. You may use it for the purposes permitted by

nature.

Dear Sean Dykes,

Thankyou for replying to my FOIA request.

Unfortunately, your answer was absent the information requested. Please take a look at it on the whatdotheyknow.com web site to see what I mean.

Could I trouble you to send the information again?

Yours sincerely,

William Hopkins

Dykes Sean, Peterborough City Council

Dear Sean Dykes,

Thanks for your last message.

I am sorry to be a nuisance, but I still have not received the information I asked for.

Your original reply was very helpful and detailed but it did not actually contain the numbers of employees:

How many full-time employees you have who are aged 65 or over?

How many part-time employees you have who are aged 65 or over?

Could you please just send a short message in reply giving the numbers in answer to the two questions above?

Yours sincerely,

William Hopkins

Dykes Sean, Peterborough City Council

Dear Mr Hopkins

I am a little confused. I have had a look at our response to you and this
details the amount of over 65 personnel both full-time and part time.

I am going to send the table we provided again as I think you might not be
receiving it.

Could you please confirm if this is all you need?

Many thanks
