Dear Ms. Medland,

Thank you for your request, could you assist us by clarifying your request
please?

Specifically you ask:

I would then also like to know what percentage of people within each of
these three groups have

a) returned to their area in RBKC after being decanted

b) have lived in short-term housing for over a year

We’re unsure what you mean by these questions and ask if you could explain
in more detail what information you would like access to please?

Please note that your request is on hold until clarification is received.

Yours sincerely
