Dear Mr Gladstone

the last three years

·         2013/2014 - 128 Inspections

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
