Dear Foi officer,
If the loans have been cancelled or the options removed, there must be relevant documents that indicate that this has happened. I have seen these documents in the case of many other councils.
So please kindly provide the documents requested or provide the reasons for which they are not being provided.
Kind regards,
Ludovica Rogers
