Dear Cambridgeshire County Council,

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

I am writing to request an internal review of Cambridgeshire County Council's handling of my FOI request 'Correspondence in relation to works on Ditton Meadows September 2017'.

It would seem unlikely that there is no correspondence to or from the contractor on the subject and that you hold no information as requested, especially given the value of the contract.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...

Yours faithfully,

Chris Smith
