Dear Movya Makambwe

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request to Halton Borough
Council.

 

In order that we supply you with the correct information may ask that you
clarify Q4?  We can provide structure charts for you but need
clarification as to your meaning ‘within the Council recruitment’. 

 

Many thanks
