Owing to the way our library management system works it is not possible to get a real-time value for this figure, so this is a snapshot taken at the end of the 2009/10 financial year, and represents the most up-to-date figure available. The majority of this figure is made up from many borrowers owing less than £10 who will pay up quite quickly, however they in turn will be replaced with other borrowers owing similar small sums.

Please contact me if you would like further advice or assistance about your request or your right to access information held by Essex County Council.

You may reuse all or part of this information free of charge, in any format or medium, you must reuse it accurately and not in a misleading context.

If you are not satisfied with my response to your request, please let me know. If I am unable to resolve the issue immediately I will explain our complaints procedure.

If after following our complaints procedure you are still not satisfied, you are entitled to ask the Information Commissioner to review our decision. You can contact him at Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF. Telephone: 01625 545700.

Yours faithfully
