Cost codes

The request was successful.

Dear Ipswich Borough Council,

This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.

I wish to receive a list of your organisation’s cost codes and a description of what each code stands for. I use the term “cost codes” to refer to codes used by the council relating to a specific area of spending. If the council uses a different term for such spending areas, I would like to be informed of such difference.

I would like this information to be presented as follows:

Cost code: xxxx Description: xxxx (what this cost code represents)

I would like to receive this information electronically, in an Excel spreadsheet. If you feel that a substantive response to this request is not possible within a reasonable time frame I would be grateful if you could contact me and provide assistance as to how I can refine the request. I look forward to receiving a response in 20 working days. Many thanks.

Yours faithfully,

Jenna Corderoy

Dear Ms Corderoy,

Thank you for your recent request for information about the following
matter: Cost codes.

Your request was received on 14 Sep 2017 and we are dealing with it under
the terms of the Freedom of Information Act (2000), and in line with the
Council's policy and protocols. The Freedom of Information Act (2000)
obliges us to respond to requests promptly, and in any case no later than
20 working days after receiving your request. However, when a qualified
exemption applies to the information and the public interest test (PIT) is
engaged, the Act allows the time for response to be longer than 20 working
days, and a full response must be provided within such time as is
reasonable in all circumstances of the case. We do, of course, aim to make
all decisions within 20 working days, including in cases where we need to
consider where the public interest lies in respect of a request for exempt
information.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the case, we
will let you know. A fees notice will be issued to you, and you will be
required to pay before we will proceed to deal with your request.

If you have any queries about this message, please contact me via email
[Ipswich Borough Council request email]. Please remember to quote the reference number
FOIX303853 in any future communications.

Kind regards,

The Information Officer
