Dear Mr Rossi

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST – Ref 283

Thank you for your request for information about Councillors. Your request was received on 22 April 2010 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I intend to deal with your request by 20 May 2010.

In some circumstances a fee may be payable and if that is the case, I 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.

Your request will be subject to any exemption which the Council is entitled to apply to refuse your request. Some of these are absolute exemptions, and some only apply where the public interest in refusing to supply the information outweighs that in disclosing the information.

If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference above in any future communications.

Yours faithfully

Neil Harris
