Dear Inverclyde Council,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Inverclyde Council's handling of my FOI request 'Brexit planning'.
I would be very surprised if Inverclyde Council did not hold material that fell within the scope of this request.
I look forward to hearing from you in due course.
Yours faithfully,
Ally Tibbitt
