Dear CCC,

Happy to refine my query to complaints received by staff, the Mayor and Councillors in relation to prostitution.

Yours sincerely,

Luke Chandler

Christchurch City Council

Dear Luke,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

Unfortunately, while your refinement is of some use, the information you
have requested would require staff to search through a very large amount
of information. The Council does not hold all correspondence on matters
such as prostitution in a central location. In addition, your request has
no specific timeframe, which would include all complaints ever received by
the Council.  Could you please provide further refinement to your request?
At this point your request would most likely be refused as it would
require substantial collation and research.

 

Kind regards,

Sean
