ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Thank you for your request for information received on 09/05/2011.

Your request is being considered and, subject to the points made below,

If we need to obtain more information from you in order to understand what
information you require, we will contact you. If this is the case, the 20
days time limit will not commence until your request has been clarified.

The Act defines a number of exemptions that may prevent release of certain

exemptions apply and, where required by the Act, whether it is in the
public interest to release the information. If we have to make a public
interest test, the 20 day time limit might be extended. We will inform you
if the time scale has to be extended and if any information is withheld
and of your rights of appeal.

The City Council would like to make you aware that disclosure of

form in which we hold it. If you require alternative formats, e.g. audio,
large print, etc. or a different language, please let me know and we will
provide it if reasonably practicable to do so. If your request is a

provide an answer where we are able.

There may be a fee payable for this information request and we will send
