Dear Mr Chilllag,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
Further to my letter of 25 January 2010, I am writing to advise that I have now completed my search for the information you requested and it is as follows:-
The council does not own or operate any such devices.
As their deployment is not an option, there are no council operating instructions, guidance or other reports in existence.
The council has no knowledge of any devices used in the borough and therefore does not keep a register of users or locations.
There are no recorded complaints of any sort regarding the use of such devices.
If you have any queries about this letter, please contact me. Please remember to quote the reference above in any future communications.
If you are unhappy with the service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a complaint or request a review of our decision, you should write to Mr Paul Fisher, Head of Legal Services, Maidstone Borough Council, Maidstone House, King Street, Maidstone, Kent ME15 6JQ, explaining your reasons for complaining or requesting a review.
If you are not content with the outcome of your complaint, you may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the complaints procedure provided by the Council. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.
Yours sincerely,

Paul Taylor
Assistant Director of Customer Services & Partnerships
