Dear Sir/Madam,

 

Thank you for your request for information which we will handle under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000.

 

The Act allows us up to 20 working days (excluding statutory holidays) to
process a valid request for information.

 

We may be in touch with you should we require any further clarification.

 

We will determine and let you know whether we hold the information you
have requested and consider whether we are able to release the information
or if it is exempt from disclosure.

 

ECC does not usually charge for providing information to its requestors as
the provision of electronic copies is negligible, however under certain
circumstances we may have to do so if providing the information costs more
than £25. We will let you know before we do any work that would incur a
charge.

 

Please note that the response and data released to you as part of this
request will be published on the Essex County Council website. The website
address is

All requests will be anonymised and no personal information including
contact details will be disclosed as part of this process.
