Freedom of Information, Northamptonshire County Council

I am writing to you in respect of the Freedom of Information request below that you previously submitted to Northamptonshire County Council which was subsequent to the COVID-19 outbreak.

As we have previously stated, we had reviewed the way in which we were processing requests due to allocation of resources within the organisation. I am writing today to confirm that we are now in a better position to complete your request should you still want the information.

If you do, please simply reply back to this email stating that you still wish to receive the information and we will process your request as a new submission. If we do not hear back from you within the next 28 days we will assume that you no longer wish to receive the information.

Services within the organisation that provide responses to our requests are still experiencing resource issues and therefore they may not be in a position to respond as quickly as they would in normal circumstances. If this is the case we will keep you informed as to the progress of your request and likely timescale changes that may occur as a result.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your patience and understanding during this difficult period.

Kind regards
