FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 3151/11

I write in connection with your request for information dated the 13/05/2011 which was received by Lancashire Constabulary on the same day. I note you seek access to the following information:

NUMBERS AND LOCATIONS OF ANPR CAMERAS

Your request will now be considered in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, known hereafter as 'the Act'. You should receive a response within the statutory timescale of 20 working days as defined in the Act, subject to the information not being exempt or containing a reference to a third party. In some circumstances Lancashire Constabulary may be unable to achieve this deadline. If this is likely, you will be informed and given a revised time-scale at the earliest opportunity.

There may be a fee payable for the retrieval, collation and provision of the information you request. If this is the case you will be informed and the 20 working day timescale will be suspended until we receive payment from you. If you choose not to make payment then your request will remain unanswered.

Some requests may also require either full or partial transference to another public authority in order to answer your query in the fullest possible way. Again, you will be informed if this is the case.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your interest in Lancashire Constabulary.

Regards,

Sharon Glen

This refusal to release the location of ANPR cameras is at odds with a recent release by Leeds City Council who supplied a map of theirs:

Thanks Richard. Devon and Cornwall were recently ordered to turn over theirs but they went to an appeal. I'm trying to find the results before I go back to Lancashire.

Richard. I see the Leeds FOI was to the council who have stated that there are other cameras operated by the police and not themselves.
The police operated camers were not disclosed in the response.
I assume then that the local councils in Lancashire are also using this equipment.
