I am sorry we have been unable to answer your enquiry. If you believe that
the County Council has not complied with the FOI Act in responding to your
request, you may ask for an internal review. If you wish to do so, please
set out the grounds of your appeal in writing to Andrew Ogden, Director of
Law and Personnel, East Sussex County Council, County Hall, St Anne's

in any communication regarding this particular request.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you then
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision
unless you have exhausted the County Council's internal review procedure
as described in the previous paragraph. The Commissioner can be contacted
at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
