Says Adrienne YentisA friend of mine recently was riding on the heath

Says Tony BarnettWhy must ICO/FOI be difficult? the date of my application is indicated electronically (of which there have been many to Shropshire council for "access" to the commons register), try to send me in other directions?

For disclosure, I have requested" Common owners register and the 1965 commons registration register for Whitchurch Heath Common CL21"
