My thanks to Flintshire County Council Leader Arnold Woolley

I have been struggling to place a FOIE with Flintshire County Council. For some strange reason my computer will not send the FCC form to them. A telephone call ( by Lisa) to FOIE dept is denied ever happening. Emails to a lady in FOIE disappear as do emails to the FOIE dept.
None of the persons below have anything to do with the above skullduggery.
My thanks to Cllr Arnold Woolley who has suggested an excellent way to make sure emails are answered
