decision -

Please note that you cannot make an appeal to the Scottish Information
Commissioner until you have first requested an internal review by the
Council.

If you wish to submit a complaint to the Council in relation to the manner
in which it has handled your request for information then you can do so by
requesting that the Council review its decision.  Details of how to
request a review are set out in the above paragraph “Right of Review”.

If you have any further queries regarding this process, please do not
hesitate to contact me at the above noted e-mail address or on telephone
number 0141-287-8186.

Yours sincerely,

John Dickson
