FOI Team,
On 16 July 2026 you issued a response to my FOI request 719/26 stating that
no records were held.

The same day I replied requesting clarification, noting that I hold video
footage (including ITV material) showing police presence at Llandough in
1988 in connection with the events at Great House Farm.

I have received no further reply.
Please now either:

Confirm a further search has been conducted and provide any additional
records identified, or

Explain the basis on which the original “no records” response stands in
light of the contemporaneous video evidence.

A response within 5 working days would be appreciated.

See attached some screen shots from the ITV Cymru Wales footage showing my
mum, Branwen Buckler, with what seems to be a South Wales Police officer (I
think color ID 2715), from that final confrontation/enforcement period in
early December 1988 (almost certainly 5–6 December).

Yours faithfully,

Sion Buckler (Ret'd Army Sergeant)
