Our Bromley magazine

James Hamilton made this Freedom of Information request to Bromley Borough Council Automatic anti-spam measures are in place for this older request. Please let us know if a further response is expected or if you are having trouble responding.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Bromley Borough Council,

Please release the total cost of producing ‘Our Bromley’ magazine. Please consider direct costs - design, printing, distribution (not limited to these areas) - but also the indirect, opportunity costs of your staff working on this instead of their core duties.

Yours faithfully,

James Hamilton
