Dear Mr Ramirez

Thank you for your request for information, which was received by

information requested and is satisfied that it falls within the broad
definition of "environmental information” in the Environmental Information
Regulations 2004 (EIR). Your request for information has therefore been
considered under the provisions of the EIR.

The detail of your request and the Council's response is provided below

The information supplied to you may be subject to copyright. You are free
to use it for your own purposes, including any non-commercial research you

copyright holder.

If you wish to re-use the information provided other than for reasons
already outlined above, you must submit the request to us in writing, with
your name and address for correspondence, and you must specify the
information you want to re-use and the purpose you intend to use it for.
We will then consider your request under the Re-use of Public Sector

If you are not satisfied with the response to your request, you may ask
the Council for an internal review. This will be undertaken by an officer
not involved in handling your request. If you wish an internal review to
be undertaken you should contact the Democratic Services Legal Team who

When requesting an internal review, please explain which parts of the
request handling and/or response you are unhappy with so that we can
address your concerns in the internal review process.

accessed here:

If you are not happy with the outcome of the internal review process once
it is completed, you have the right to apply directly to the Information
Commissioner for a decision.
