Cost of Olympic Torch Procession
Dear Sutton Borough Council,
Please can you tell me the cost to the council for allowing the Olympic Torch to pass through the borough?
Please could you provide a breakdown of the costs such as extra pay for staff, extra cost of policing, road closures, branded bunting and other associated costs.
In addition, could you tell me what income, if any, was earned from the procession from parking, selling advertising space etc
And finally, if you did have any grant funding or sponsorship, can you tell me how much was provided by LOCOG?
I would like this information in electronic form. If you require further clarification, please let me know.
Yours faithfully,
