Dear [name removed],

I write in connection with your application for information which was
received by Merseyside Police on 23rd January, 2012. I note that you seek
access to the following information:

(Paraphrased) Information in respect of Old Swan Neighbourhood.

To enable Merseyside Police to meet your request could you please provide
this office with further information. I provide some guidance that may
assist you more clearly to describe the information you require:

1) In relation to the request for 'successes', does this refer to
Priorities which have been set, or items raised by the community at Forums
etc, or to some other measure of incidents. Over what period are you
seeking information, please?

2) In terms of crime statistics, will data for the last twelve months be
sufficient?

This application is now suspended pending clarification of your
application.

After receiving your reply, your request will then be considered and you
will receive the information requested within the statutory time scale of
20 working days as defined by the Freedom of Information Act 2000, subject
to the information not being exempt or containing reference to a third
party.

However, if the requested information has not been received by one month
after the above date, I will consider that you no longer wish to proceed
with this request and it will be treated as withdrawn.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collection and provision of
the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and
the 20 working day time scale will be suspended until we receive the
payment from you. If you chose not to make a payment then your request will
remain unanswered.
