Dear [email address],

Good morning. Thank you for your response. Which is disappointing and appears to be quite lazy.
Question 5 iof my foi asks how many EV charging points are situated on trust sites. I don't see how another HSCT would have that information and the Northern HCST not.
Question 6 is focussed on information staff would have been given prior to taking up the scheme. Again surely the Northern HSCT would have circulated this information.

I await your reply

Yours sincerely,

Richard Longwood
