Dear Gayle Carey,
Thanks very much for this information. Can I ask for one more piece, please? After I started this project I found out there is also a Formal Improvement notice that can be issued and I have the number of these for the other councils so I was hoping you may be able to tell me how many of these were issues in each year too?
Yours sincerely,
Nigel Gladstone
