The information requested is exempt under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost. This is because the Council has a number of different departments and services and it would take over 1-2hrs for each department or service to provide the requested information. As such, this would take in excess of 40hrs, costing the Council in excess of £600. In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost, we are therefore unable to comply with your request.
