A FOI (Freedom of Information) request has revealed how many Member (Councillor) enquiries were received between 8 May 2019 and 5 May 2020 from Members of the Council. The council does not record policy enquiries made by Councillors and these figures do not represent all of the casework that members undertake, only that which is logged through the member enquiries system.
