Dear Freedom Of Information (Suffolk),
Thanks for this -
Where did you get to with Question one?
Yours sincerely,
Benjamin Butcher
Good afternoon Benjamin
As this was a cost refusal, the whole request is therefore refused on that basis, should you wish for us to only focus on question 1, then we will be happy to refine your request accordingly.
