Dear Mr Davenport
Request for information 2019-060
I refer to your request for information dated 20 February 2019, which was received by Greater

GWRC’s response follows:
Attachment 1 to this letter contains a spreadsheet of the Resolve cases you have listed above.
Please note that we have elected to remove personal identifiers from this spreadsheet in order to
protect the privacy of those people referred to in the attached document (this affects complainants
and staff members below management level).
RESPONSE TO OIA 2019-060
This information has been withheld in accordance with section 7(2)(a) of the Local Government
Official Information and Meetings Act 1987 (the Act) on the ground that withholding the
information is necessary to protect the privacy of natural persons.
We have considered whether the public interest in the requested information outweighs GWRC’s
need to withhold personal identifiers from this spreadsheet. As a result, we do not consider that the
public interest outweighs GWRC’s reason for withholding the information under the ground
identified above.
If you have any concerns with the decision(s) referred to in this letter, you have the right to request
an investigation and review by the Ombudsman under section 27(3) of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Greg Pollock General Manager, Public Transport
