Arthur
Once we receive a letter of objection we send a letter to that individual
indicating that their letter will become public information (as well as
placing a copy on the file). We ask them that if they do object to the
letter becoming publicly available they should respond to us within 7 days
stating such objection.
On reflection though Arthur, I do agree - what if there was a specific
vendetta between two neighbours and this type of information does become
available....murders!!!!
