Dear Requester,
Our response to your Freedom of Information request is detaled below:
Dear Sir/Madam
I am conducting a survey of all Local Government from County to Parish
level and a separate survey of all schools regarding the knowledge and use
of LED lighting within the authorities.
The information from this survey will be tied in with the Climate Week
([1]http://www.climateweek.com/) and show where the most savings can be
made within the Local Government bodies and help push for subsidized, cost
effective and environmental lighting (much like when the Compact
Florescent Bulbs were subsidized) which will also help councils cope with
budget cuts.
I am hoping to include all 9,000+ Parish, Town, Borough and County
Councils and all schools within this survey.
Can you please supply me with any council contact information you have
(Contact name of Clerk, Parish/Town and email address) as well as the
local schools? They will have the option to opt out and their details will
be kept private and not used for any other purpose.
Thank you for your time and help.
p.s. this is not about marketing or selling – just gathering information.
