Dear J N Burke

Request for Information

Thank you for your request for information received on 28 October 2009 regarding CCTV cameras in Bodelwyddan.

I respond to the queries you raised as follows:

There is only one camera in Bodelwyddan on the lamp post on Abergele Road. Following a public meeting in Bodelwyddan on 25 September 2009, which was convened by Ann Jones AM for Bodelwyddan residents, there is a plan to install a second camera at their request. This second camera will be located on Rhuddlan Road. The camera was installed in March 2009, but another camera was there previously on other dates.

The camera is managed as one of 8 remote cameras and individual costs for repair and maintenance is not available. The cost of the camera in Bodelwyddan was £5,000. The fitting cost was £370. The annual running costs per camera is £600 per year.

The data period is for a minimum of 14 days, but maybe longer dependant on the storage space available on the digital storage system.

There have no requests for subject access and there have been no request for images to be provided as evidence in court proceedings.

There are no plans to change the current arrangements in relation to CCTV in Denbighshire. The view of Denbighshire and its Community Safety Partners is that CCTV is a valuable tool in relation to the prevention and detection of crime and providing public reassurance.

If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me. If you have any further queries regarding CCTV in Bodelwyddan perhaps you could contact Roly Schwarz direct on 07919 690 754 or his email address is [email address]

If you have any concerns about the manner in which the Council has dealt with your request for information please do not hesitate to contact me. Alternatively you can contact the Access to Information Feedback Officer, Records Management, 46 Clwyd Street, Ruthin, LL15 1HP. As I am sure you are aware the Freedom of Information Act 2000 is regulated by the Information Commissioner whose address is Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF.
