LBTH Mayor's Chauffeur's Diary & Log

The request was successful.

Isa Bell, London UK

Dear Tower Hamlets Borough Council,

I watched the programme on the telly about the Lord Mayor of Tower Hamlets in his limousine journeys.

[1] Can you send me a copy of the Lord Mayor's chauffeur's or limousine's diary & logbook, or whatever the council call the records which shows:

* the times and places the Lord Mayor's limousine journeys began

* the times and places the journeys ended

* the times and places where the limousine and chauffeur had to wait for the Lord Mayor

for period January 2011 to July 2013.

[2] Does the Lord Mayor ever drive the limousine himself?

[3] Is the Lord Mayor allowed to make personal journeys in the limousine or make detours for personal reasons like meeting or visiting his friends or doing a bit of electioneering for himself ?

[4] Can the Lord Mayor use his limousine to help his friends by giving them lifts like if they have too much shopping to carry or its raining or because the air conditioning is nicer than being out in the heatwave?

[5] Why is the Lord Mayor's car so big when it carries only the Lord Mayor must of the time?

[6] How many miles can the Lord Mayor's limousine drive for one litre of petrol or diesel, how much pollution does it emit per mile or per kilometre and how many miles was the Lord Mayor usage in 2011, 2012 and 2013 so far?

[7] Are council staff or councillors or local politicians allowed to use the Lord Mayor's limousine for their own official tasks?

Yours faithfully,

Isa Bell

Richard Carter, Tower Hamlets Borough Council
