The Assembly Member for Arfon, Sian Gwenllian, emailed me on the 5th July and sent me a copy of the long overdue response from Marian Parry Hughes, Head of Children and Families at Gwynedd Council.

Mrs Hughes begins by apologising for not responding to the AM and states -
"It certainly wasn't deliberate on my part."
So what was the reason for ignoring the AM for three months then ?

Mrs Hughes goes on to explain that Sharron Carter, Senior Operational Manager, had responded to the solicitor by letter and answered all relevant questions - in March.
The solicitor - after searching their files - state they have not received a letter from Sharron Williams Carter, from the date in question.
And if they had I would not have asked the AM - in April - for help in getting a response now - would I ?
I include a link to my post where Cyngor Gwynedd lost another important letter - one that had been placed in their secure letterbox in the Caernarfon office addressed to Aled Gibbard.

How many letters do Gwynedd Council lose every year ?
Sian, I am very grateful for your help in eliciting a response, finally, from the Department Head.
I am also very concerned that you were ignored by a council employee for three months.
