Kirklees Metropolitan Council
The complainant has requested information from Kirklees Council which concerns remarks made by a councillor at a public meeting, where the Councillor is alleged to have said that the complainant had cost the Council £38,000. The Council corrected the amount referred to by the complainant in his request and it provided him with a schedule of its calculation of how a figure of £11,000 was arrived at.
