WDTK web site is very good. I do not always use it if I am making the same enquiry to several EA's. They might cotton on as to why the question is being asked. I always get someone else to ask the questions for me.
Best way to get a response is to throw a few stupid questions in as well. Like for example: "Do the drivers of the 'photo cars' have to pay for their own petrol? Can they get Clubcard points for it? That way they think they are dealing with a halfwit!
Martin could also ask:
Were the police paid by the Council to come to my address? How much did the Council pay them?
Also ask:
At a visit to The Danson Festival I put the same questions to Councillor Craske and Councillor
. Why have no answers been forthcoming despite a promise they would be answered ?
