Breakdown of COVID-19 Funding Received

 Due to the current situation with COVID-19 the majority of the Council’s
regular staffing and resources are being directed to helping our
communities and vulnerable people who are experiencing difficulties during
the pandemic.

Therefore while we focus on aiding our residents, there will be an
uncalculated delay in processing Freedom of Information, Environmental
Information and Subject Access Requests.

Accordingly, to prevent a backlog, we kindly ask you to consider
withdrawing your requests and enquiries by return email. Otherwise, we ask
for your patience and understanding during this unprecedented situation
and refer your attention to our website
[1]http://www.reigate-banstead.gov.uk/coron... we share regular
updates which may answer your questions.

Thank you for your support
