Dear Sam Urquhart

Thank you for your email dated 2 November requesting information regarding
Christmas Decorations.

I have contacted the Service Manager for Street Management who has
provided me with the following information in response to your enquiry.

1. The amount spent by the council on Christmas decorations in public
spaces between 2007 and 2009.

(£45,000 per annum)

2. Any documentation produced by the council during that period in order
to guide the purchasers of illuminated decorations relating to energy
efficiency and sustainability.

(The Council does not have any produced documentation)

I hope that I have been able to provide you with the information you
require and that you are satisfied with the way that I have dealt with
your request. However if for any reason you are not, you can make a
complaint by writing to the Corporate Complaints Team, Room 104, Town
Hall, 1 Town Square, Barking IG11 7HE. Alternatively you can make your
complaint on-line at www.barking-dagenham.gov.uk or you can e-mail your
complaint to [email address].

If you are still not satisfied, after following our Corporate Complaints
procedure, you can take your complaint to the Information Commissioner.
Full details of how to do this will be made available on request.

Kind regards

Jacquie Harris
