As the question responses are mostly single number or Yes / No responses, for ease of collation, I attach a spreadsheet with each of the questions included in a response matrix. The matrix clearly shows each response required and should take no more than 3-4 hours to complete with available information. With this in mind.
• Where a question does not apply to the Council, please mark it as "not applicable".
• If the data requested is not measured, please mark it as "not measured"
• If the data is no longer held by the Council.
