Dear Ms. Batey,

Thank you for your reply.

With regards to the request for a full postal address, under section 8.1.b the Freedom Of Information Act asks for an "address for correspondence", and that the email address provided is sufficient to qualify as an "address for correspondence". If you have technical problems or difficulties in regards to processing this request with respect to replying electronically, I would be happy to assist you in that regard.

Yours sincerely,

J Nelson

Dear Aldwick Parish Council,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Aldwick Parish Council's handling of my FOI request 'Composition and costs of running the council'.

A formal freedom of information request was made on 17 January and a request for a postal address was made. The disclosing of a postal address was declined and the relevant section of the Freedom of Information act which stated no such postal address was required and that an e-mail address was sufficient was provided.

The request is now long overdue, if the request is not dealt with promptly this matter may be referred to the information commissioner.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address:
