Answer
The table provided by Mr Koowaree has a number of horizontal and vertical columns which make it virtually impossible for me to read out in the Chamber. However it has been duly completed as Mr Koowaree has requested, and hard copies will be available in the normal way on the table outside.
The annual income generated by Commercial Services from the roundabout sponsorship programme is returned to KCC as part of the annual dividend paid back to the authority's bottom line, and this income is not ring fenced. I am therefore unable to provide detail on how this income is spent once returned from Commercial Services.
