Dear [name removed]
Information requests – [name removed]
I’ve been made aware of the content of some of the email correspondence
you have sent to my colleague Suzanne Harper which I consider has become
increasingly personal in nature and as such is unacceptable. Suzanne is
carrying out her job correctly in clarifying what it is that you are
asking for in relation to dates etc.
In order to cut down the necessity for the Council to come back to your
requests to seek clarification in future, it would be helpful if you could
make your requests clear in relation to the information you request and
the dates that you are seeking the information for.
I would ask that you remain courteous in any further correspondence with
Suzanne and indeed with any other employee of the Council.
Yours sincerely
Jen Crocket

Achievement
