I've not done so yet, but I quite fancy asking a few organisations some awkward questions.
If you're going to contact the Highland Council, or anyone else, I'd recommend using this brilliant website:
http://www.whatdotheyknow.com/
The advantage is you don't have to go searching through all the different websites, but better still others get to see what you've asked (and what the answer was) + you can see what others asked (provided they used this website of course. It also states what requests each organisation has outstanding.
Hi Rhys, thanks for that
Bliadhna mhath ùr dhut!
All the best for 2009
