Dear Requester

Thank you for your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
received on 29/Nov/2021.  We have registered your request under reference
number FOI 07851 and would be grateful if you would please use this
reference and the email address [Eden District Council request email] on any future
correspondence relating to this request.

We aim to respond to your request no later than 28/Dec/2021.

Description of request:

Dear Eden District Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the
following information.

1. The total number of CCTV cameras currently operated by the council
2. The total amount spent on the installation and maintenance of CCTV
cameras in the 2020 calendar year

Whilst it is the Council’s policy to provide information wherever
possible, we need to advise you that there are a number of exemptions
under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which may prevent the release of
some or all of the information you have requested. Some exemptions are
absolute and some only apply where the public interest in maintaining the
exemption outweighs that in disclosing the information. You will be
informed if this is the case and the reason why.

Once the information has been identified the Authority may also ask that a
fee be paid for processing and delivering the information to you. Details
of any fee to be charged will be notified to you as soon as possible.

Under the terms of the legislation, we have an obligation to respond to
your request within 20 working days from the day after your request was
received.  However, please be aware that some services may experience a
reduction in staffing levels due to absence or because resources have been
diverted to support frontline services to respond to the Covid-19
pandemic. Therefore, in some cases there may be a delay in issuing a
response. In the meantime, you may find some of the information you are
looking for on the searchable Disclosure Log: [1]Responses to Freedom of
Information Requests on our website.

Yours faithfully

Eden District Council
