To: Polly


📜 Dear Polly,

Thank you for your email of Sunday, 25 February 2024, addressed to Mr. Gary AppleMs. Suzie Newbottom, and an ensemble of additional recipients.

Your message has been observed. Engagement, however, remains in rehearsal.


🧾 On Timelines, Tentative Promises, and Future Correspondence

We are currently looking into what you’ve told us and aim to respond by 11 March 2024.

Should the need arise for further information — and it often does —

we shall, of course, be in touch.


📚 On Further Reading, and the Comfort of Procedure

For those wishing to familiarise themselves with the formal choreography of council complaint handling, we direct you (gently) to:

🔗 RBKC Complaints Process

Where policy lives, response awaits, and resolution remains an aspirational noun.


✉️ Administrative Note

Please do not edit the subject line when replying to this email.
Your case is best tracked when titled just so.


📜 Kind regards,

Customer Relationship Team
Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea
