St.Helens Council, St Helens Metropolitan Borough Council

Dear Sirs

You will be aware that we have endeavoured to contact you regarding your
request for information.

In the absence of a response we can advise that we are unable to respond
to this request as it is too broad, and the cost involved in searching for
every planned construction work in the borough in that period would exceed
the acceptable limit of £450 as set out in the Act.

 

yours sincerely

 

Stuart Rainbow
