Thank you for your Freedom of Information request below. As you may be aware the Act allows for up to 20 working days for response giving a deadline of 29 September . I will of course reply sooner if possible.
The Council is entitled to apply reasonable costs for disbursements (i.e photocopying, postage etc), but where such costs are under £5.00 the Council will make no charge. However, if costs exceed that limit then a charge may be made. Where charges will apply proper notice will be given to you prior to the information being released.
