Nottingham City Council's legal department has written to Nottingham blogger ncclols to tell him to stop causing 'distress' to staff and councillors.
The blog, whose purpose is to uncover day to day sharp practise by the council, has reproduced the letter and the reply sent today.
It's not quite clear what legal basis NCC has for telling the blog not to write such things.

It's a bit worrying that they found out your name and address. Any ideas how?
I very much doubt that the threats have any substance, but we will kick up a massive fuss if they get anywhere.
