Dear Mr Gulley,

 

Thank you for your Freedom of Information request.

 

Please could you clarify the following points:

·       A defined start date – the FOI states ‘since Coronavirus’. I would
assume that you mean the 23^rd March when we went into a nationwide
lockdown.

·       Regarding the format what is meant by ‘theme’.

·       ‘Period Involved’ – is this how long furlough has been in place at
the council. Or, is this length furlough has lasted for individual
employees.

 

 

Kind regards

 

Mr C Luke
