Dear Derek O'Connor,

Further to your response to this FOI, could you please confirm what the cost to the taxpayer for this is?

Are the offices to be rented from M&G, and if so, what is the monthly/annual cost for the rent? Is this for the full 40 year term? If not rented, then how is it being paid for by Conwy County Borough Council?

Thank you,

H Spencer
