Dear Lynn, your official information request refers.

 

In response to your enquiry, I can confirm that the Gore District Council
does not carry out drug or alcohol testing amongst its employees or other
persons.

 

We are working towards introducing a Drug and Alcohol Policy which will no
doubt include some form of testing, however, that is still to be
finalised.

 

If you require any further information, please let me know.

 

Regards, Susan Jones
