I acknowledge receipt of your query received by this office.

As set out by the Freedom of Information Act it will be our aim to respond
to your request within 20 working days. In some cases, however, we may be
unable to achieve this deadline. If this occurs we will advise you of the
likely timescale within which the response will be provided.

Some requests may also require transference to another Authority in order

If you have any questions regarding your request please contact us.

 

Due to the unprecedented challenges Heddlu Gwent Police is facing during
the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic,  resources may be diverted away from
usual compliance or information rights work. This may mean that during
this extraordinary period, you may experience understandable delays when
making information rights requests during the pandemic. We will endeavour
to keep you informed during the course of your request.  Thank you for
your understanding.

 

 

Hawliau gwybodaeth a coronafeirws:

 

Oherwydd yr heriau digynsail mae Heddlu Gwent yn eu hwynebu yn ystod y
pandemig coronafeirws (COVID-19), mae’n bosibl y bydd adnoddau’n cael eu
dargyfeirio oddi wrth waith arferol yn y maes cydymffurfiaeth neu hawliau
gwybodaeth. Gall hyn olygu y byddwch yn profi oedi dealladwy yn ystod y
cyfnod eithriadol hwn pan fyddwch yn gwneud ceisiadau hawliau gwybodaeth.
Byddwn yn ymdrechu i roi’r newyddion diweddaraf i chi am eich cais. Diolch
am eich dealltwriaeth.
