Request
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, please provide the following information for the 2025/26 financial year and 2026/27 financial year to date:
- The total number of flights, train tickets, taxis, hotel bookings and other travel/accommodation bookings paid for by the Council which were subsequently cancelled or unused, where the Council incurred a financial cost and received no corresponding service.
- The total cost to the Council of these cancelled or unused bookings.
Please exclude bookings where the Council received a full refund and therefore incurred no net cost.
Response
I can confirm that the Council does not hold the requested information. We have made reasonable enquiries within the relevant service areas and have been unable to identify any recorded information falling within the scope of your request.
