Dear Kirklees Borough Council,
Please provide me with details of the roads gritted/ salted by you in times of freezing temperatures.
I should be happy to have this as either a list of named streets (with wards or other disambiguating information, where there are two or more of the same name; and preferably in CSV or text file format); or as a list of route instructions for your gritter drivers.
If you treat these roads according to some sort of priority system, please indicate the priority allocated to each road, and the criteria for treating at each priority level.
Yours faithfully,
Andy Mabbett

Dear Friends,
I thank you for your response. However, I am unable to read upside down, and my monitor falls over if I try to stand it on its head.
I do not believe that a response with upside down pages is in the spirit of our FoI legislation; please therefore supply a corrected copy.
Kind regards,
Andy Mabbett
Dear Mr Mabbett
I refer to your email below and have noted your comments.
I have checked the response we sent you, together with the information held on the WDTK website and both are the correct way up - nothing has been sent to you upside down.
If you can tell me where you are having a problem I will look into this again.
Yours sincerely
