Dear Matthew,
I write to seek clarification on the timeframe in which you require the information.
I note that you have asked for the information "from Jan 2027 to Dec 2022" if you could please clarify the start date you require the information from as I am assuming 2027 is a typo?
The request response time will be put on hold until we receive this.
Kind Regards

Dear FOI Unit,
Thank you for your reply.
Yes this is a error and the correct start date is 2017.
Yours sincerely,
Matthew
Dear Matthew,
Thank you for providing clarification. Our burials/cremations etc are handled by Barry Town Council as part of a service-level agreement.
Could you please confirm you are happy for us to share your name and request with them to obtain a response?
We will then respond to you overall.
Kind Regards

Dear Matthew Davies
Thank you for your request for information about : Burials and cremations
The information you have requested is not held by the Vale of Glamorgan
Council as we do not operate as a burial or cremation authority. The
Council has ownership of only Porthkerry Cemetery and this is managed on
our behalf by Barry Town Council. I would suggest that burial figures for
the area would be available from Barry Town Council and Penarth Town
Council and that cremation information would be available from Cardiff and
Glamorgan Memorial Park which is the only crematorium in the area and
owned and managed by Memoria Limited.
Please accept my apologies for an earlier email sent asking if we could
share the request with the community council. It was only after discussing
with my colleague did he mention you must make the request to them
yourself.
If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review. Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to: The Monitoring Officer, Civic
Offices, Holton Road, Barry, CF63 4RU.
Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future
communications.
If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision.
The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:
Information Commissioner's Office - Wales
Second Floor, Churchill House
Churchill Way,
