Good Afternoon

Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act, dated the 4th March 2013.

This is to inform you that your request has been received and the Council
is endeavouring to respond as promptly and fully as possible.  You will
receive the Council’s response by the 3rd April 2013 at the latest. 
Please quote reference FOI 571-12-13 in any future correspondence.
 
The Council’s policy is to carry out the spirit and requirements of the
Freedom of Information Act in a manner which:
 
Recognises the duty to inform as the essential principle underlying the
legislation; discloses to requesters the maximum information possible
which is not injurious to the public and private interests identified in
the exemptions in the Act and does so in the most timely and consistent
manner given the nature and scope of the request; ensures that fees
permitted under the Act are kept to an absolute minimum whilst
safeguarding our position as a non profit making repayment department. The
Freedom of Information Act can be found here:
[1]www.hmso.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/20000036.htm
 
The Council endeavours to respond in kind unless you request the
information in another format. 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 I can proceed to deal with
your request.
 
Please contact me if these conditions are unacceptable or you require
further advice or assistance with your information needs.
 
Many thanks
