Map data for all Camden operated council estates

[Name Removed] made this Freedom of Information request to Camden Borough Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was refused by Camden Borough Council.

To the London Borough of Camden,
Most Camden owned/operated council estates have a green signpost with a map affixed outside them at a prominent location. You can view an example here: <https://municipaldreams.files.wordpress....>

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I would like to request Geographic Information System (GIS) data of the polygons used to generate these maps, or, if this is not possible, PDF or similar file format files of all the maps that are signposted. I understand that the Council currently releases point based data about overall estates on their data open portal.

Furthermore, under The Re-use of Public Sector Information Regulations 2015, I would like to use such data under the Open Government Regulations v3 (OGLv3), available at <https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/doc/...>. I would like to integrate such data into the online mapping initiative “OpenStreetMap”, used by many services including the Council directly on certain pages.[1][2][3][4]

To the information team,
Thank you for your acknowledgment. Unfortunately, I have now noticed it appears to be erroneous. 20 days from the 11 April would be the first of May, i.e. today.
I understand that it is easy for this mistake to be made and am happy to wait an additional 11 days for my request.

If I am in anyway incorrect I would be happy for my errors to be highlighted.

Kind regards,

be responded to. So do not include Saturdays, Sundays or public holidays
across the whole of the UK and not just in England for English public
authorities. So the deadline for your case is 12/05/2022.
