    Often you will find press articles and relevant papers via google.
    Councils keep minutes on-line in many cases.

    Ultimately the council will have it, either to hand or in the archive.
    You may want to pre-arm yourself with details gleaned from the Internet first. As many of us know there is an abundance of councils who need all the help they can get.


    A landowner facing higher rates may think twice depending upon how much the increased rate if offset by revenue.


    Do you think we could get the info through the FOI act?

    May be worth a try methinks.

    How would one word it i wonder? I will have a think this evening.

    Cheers anewman. I have used it a few times.

    See where kirklees Council spent 2.1 million on taxis last year.

    I got a 1/3rd of a page with that one. West Yorkshire Police are not quite keen on me too !

    People are so happy with the X factor routine and forget what goes on around them as it does not interfere with them. Till they need help.

    I am sick of people being sh#t on. I really am.

    I'm just a very honest fella who does not care what people think of me. Take the parasites on, i do.
