Dear Stroud District Council,
Thanks for your response.
I would just like some clarity on what 'REMOVED' means in the spreadsheet:
1) Is it referring to both the number of dog and litter bins removed, or just one type?
2) What timeframe is it in reference to? I.e. is it removed in the last year? Removed since 2013? etc.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Clark

Could I have data on how many bins were removed during the past five years, not just the past two years, as per my original request (i.e."How many public bins has SDC (please break down by ward / town etc. if possible) owned and/or managed over the previous five years?")

Dear Stroud District Council,
I would just like to clarify your first response.
Do the spending figures in 3) and 4) of your response refer to the cost of purchasing new bins or do they also include money spent maintaining the bins?
