Trip to the seaside

The request was successful.

Dear Tower Hamlets Borough Council,

As I was laying on Brighton beach on a sunny Bank Holiday Sunday, imagine my surprise when I saw a coach from the London Borough of Tower Hamlets Transport Services parked up on Madeira Drive.

Can you confirm please who benefitted from the day trip in terms of numbers and which groups were there please? Can you also confirm the internal recharge made from Transport Services to the department concerned.

Can you also confirm if they took a stick of rock back for the Mayor?

Yours faithfully,

Tim Rodgers

Jane L Jones, Tower Hamlets Borough Council
