Dear Hastings Borough Council,

Would Hastings Council please release figures which show how many INDIVIDUAL residents responded to the recent Core Strategy consultation. Figures for INDIVIDUAL resident's responses received online and by hard copy are requested. We have been informed that 160 RESPONSES were received online but this does not appear to show how many INDIVIDUALS responsed - it appears to show how many QUESTIONS were answered......but not how many RESIDENTS actually responded..

With thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Patricia Stephenson - St. Leonards on Sea.
