Dear Jean Don,

The GWRC response letter refers to the following attachments:

Attachment 1 – Rates Model 2022/23
Attachment 2 – Annual Plan 2022/23
Attachment 3 – 2021-31 Long Term Plan Supporting Information
Attachment 4 – Metlink budget 2022/23
Attachment 5 – 2022/23 Annual Plan update to Councillors December 2021
Attachment 6 – 2022/23 Annual Plan update to Councillors March 2022

However, these documents were not attached to the GRWC response email. Therefore I have not received the GWRC response yet.

Can you please look into this as a matter of urgency?
