Cost of traveller incursions Summer 2013

The request was partially successful.

Dear Poole Borough Council,

I would like to make an information request under the
Freedom of Information Act.

I would like to know the following costs for the Summer of 2013 (during the last season of traveller incursions):

a) The total amount spent by the council last year on legal services to address issues of illegal occupation of public land by the travelling community.

b) The total amount spent by the council last year to repair and secure public land following an eviction such as but not limited to the replacement of barriers, fencing, locks, plants or trees etc.

d) The total amount spent by the council last year for the removal of rubbish etc. left behind on public land and the cost of land fill tax incurred for its disposal.

e) A breakdown of those same costs specifically for Branksome Recreation Ground.

I understand that under the FOI Regulations, I am entitled to a response within two months. I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

In the event that I have sent this letter to the wrong
person/department I would appreciate you passing it to the correct one and advising me of this.

Many thanks for your help.

Yours faithfully,

Ruth McCullough

Jeff Morley, Poole Borough Council
