Dear Sir/Madam,

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST X04-1384

 

We refer to your email dated 30^th May 2019 which contained a request for
information as set out in italics below.  Following consideration of your
request, in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I respond
to each point as follows:

 

Please could I have copies of all the press releases prepared to be
released on an 'if asked basis' so far this year?

 

Please see documents attached.

 

The first was a Western Bay statement concerning the publication of a
child case review. This was produced and held on file so that it could be
provided in the event that one of the three partner authorities (Bridgend,
Neath Port Talbot and Swansea) was approached by the media for a comment.

 

The second was prepared in the eventuality that there was no decision in
the appointment of a new chief executive for Bridgend County Borough
Council. As a decision was made and Mark Shephard was duly appointed to
the post, the ‘in case’ statement was never issued.

 

I hope this response satisfies your request. If you are dissatisfied with
the handling of the request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 you
have the right to request a review of the Council’s response to your
request for information.  If you wish to request a review, please write to
the below address or email [1][Bridgend County Borough Council request email] .  Following ICO
guidance, a request for a review must be made within 2 months of a
response being received.
