Cost codes
Dear Blaenau Gwent County 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 Jenna Corderoy,
In response to your Freedom of Information request I can confirm that the information requested is held by Blaenau Gwent Council. I have attached a copy of the information that is being released to you. You will note that a number of the descriptions have been redacted as personal information; this is because the cost code relates to an individual and the description includes the individuals name.
I trust this answers your request and if you have any queries please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
