The Reform Party central DOGE Team

Request

I'm writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act (2000) to ask that you please disclose to me the following:

1. Any internal documentation sent to the local authority within the last 4 months, coming from the Reform Party central DOGE Team and outlining savings to be made at the local authority so far. 

2. I'd also like information pertaining to whether a local Department of Local Government Efficiency (DOLGE) team established within the council has ascertained any savings to be made by the local authority, if so I'd like copies of the documentation speaking to this. 

3. I'd also like any copies of Emails sent from the local DOLGE team, if it exists, to the central Reform DOGE group, with the appropriate necessary redactions made to identifiable information, or coming from the liaising councillors responsible for speaking with DOGE, in whatever capacity it is recognised that they do so and if no formal DOLGE team is established. I would like these emails, specifically covering all work conducted at local level with regard to cost-saving and the work of DOGE/DOLGE to be covered in this request for the period spanning from the local elections in May to present. 

4. I would also like to know if anyone from DOGE has visited the local council offices yet, please, and for a total value to be placed by the authority on the potential savings established, and a breakdown of this, or the raw data if that cannot be done within cost limit. 

5. I'd also like a figure how many people are a part of any DOLGE team locally please, and a list of their names.
