Dear Mr. Slaughter MPThank you for your request for information which was received on 17 June 2013.

Your request

In response to the Panorama programme last week dealing with the Councils misuse oftraffic cameras, two pages were taken up in the Fulham & Hammersmith Chronicleattempting to rebut those allegations. Would you remind me of the cost of this? At the sametime a leaflet containing the same information was delivered to every household (itappears). Why was it necessary to replicate this information and what was the full cost ofproducing and distributing his leaflet? Was any other money spent on this exercise?Our responseThis request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Hammersmith and Fulham. I havedetailed below the information that is being released to you.

85,000 copies of the leaflet were distributed. The costs of that distribution are set out below,including staff time (design).

Our distribution company (Letterbox) was not able to logistically separate out areas wherethe Chronicle is not distributed, given the nature of the Chronicle distribution (which is moretargeted at specific households within roads rather than defined areas). The decision todistribute borough-wide took account of the fact that the Chronicle has recently reduced

distribution across the borough, meaning that more than half of H&F households no longerreceive the paper. The costs are set out below.
