      I would be interested in any information held by the local authority regarding my request. I understand that I do not have to specify particular files or documents and it is the departments responsibility to provide the information I require. If you need further clarification please contact me by email.

      I would like the information to be emailed to me in electronic form. 

      Please confirm:-
