Martin Geddes is in dispute with Durham County Council over the alleged debt that he owes them in respect of Council Tax unpaid.
He is chronicling his challenge to this allegation.
In response to his FOIA enquiry as to whether they have a policy document which describes how correspondence to the chief executive is handled, they have become all coy and uncooperative, producing all manner of diversionary reasons why they can't answer this simple question.
This is entertaining, provided only that it is happening to somebody else.
Do they advance good reasons for denying his request, or is there something else going on here?
It's your assessment that matters.
