We are considering your request and you will receive the Councils full
response within the [1]statutory time limit of 20 working days, which in

exempt or we require additional time to consider whether disclosure is in
the public interest in accordance with [2]Section 2 of the Act.  

The [3]Act defines a number of exemptions which may prevent release of the
information you have requested. Before we provide the information we will
consider whether it is proper to release it and if any of the exemption
categories do apply then the information may not be released. We will tell
you if this is the case, and you will have a right of appeal. If the
information you request contains reference to a third party then they may
be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not to release
the information to you. You may have to pay a fee for this information; we
will consider this and let you know. If a fee is applicable the Council
will issue you with a Fees Notice. The 20 working day time limit will not
start until we receive your payment. If you have any queries or concerns,
please contact the Data Disclosure and Records Officer on 01685 725000 or

Dear Sir/Madam

RE:     Freedom Of Information Act 2000 – INFORMATION Request

Further to the acknowledgment email on the 17^th July 2019, we cannot
sufficiently identify the information you have requested from the details
you have provided.  To help us respond to your request could you please
clarify the following point:

Can you clarify over what period you require the data and whether you are
looking for just third party Council spend i.e. expenditure with suppliers
or are you looking for total Council expenditure?

Once we receive this we will consider your request and you will receive
the information requested within the statutory timescale of 20 working
days, unless the information is exempt or we require additional time to
consider whether disclosure is in the public interest in accordance with
Section 2 of the Freedom of Information Act.
