City status competition

The request was successful.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to know / be supplied the following information:

1) The cost of the recent city status bid made by your authority. This cost should be split by external costs, internal costs (including recharges made by one part of the authority to another)

2) The city status bid document itself (or a link should this be available publicly already - I have not been able to locate on your internet site)

I would like to receive the information electronically by this website.

If my request is denied in whole or in part, I ask that you justify all deletions by reference to specific exemptions of the act. I will also expect you to release all non-exempt material. I reserve the right to appeal your decision to withhold any information or to charge excessive fees.

I would be grateful if you could confirm by email that you have received this request. I look forward to your response within 20 working days,

Yours Faithfully,

Peter J. Kemp

Milton Keynes Council
