Dear Jamie Dixon

RE: 26447 - CCTV camera coverage and expenditure

I am writing in response to your request dated 29 November 2021. This has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

May I first of all apologise for the delay in responding to your request.

You asked for the following information and the Council’s response to your specific questions is set out below:

1. The total number of CCTV cameras currently operated by the council

Cameras around Buildings = 494
Chest cameras = 30
The total amount of Kirklees public space cameras = 129. The total amount spent was £74,427.79.

2. The total amount spent on the installation and maintenance of CCTV cameras in the 2020 calendar year

£1747 covered by commercial rentals and therefore not a direct cost to the council.
Cost to Corporate FM to manage/install/repair/maintain those cameras in 2020- £55,189

If you are not content with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review. Requests for internal reviews should be submitted within 2 months of the date of receipt of the response to your original request and should be addressed to the Monitoring Officer, 1st Floor, Civic Centre 3, Market Street, Huddersfield HD1 2EY. Alternatively, you can send an email to: [email address].

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of any review you have the right under section 50 of the 2000 Act to apply to the Information Commissioner for a decision as to whether your request for information has been dealt with in accordance with the requirements of the Act. The Information Commissioner’s website is at www.ico.org.uk and gives more information about the role and duties of the Commissioner. The Information Commissioner’s offices will be closed for the foreseeable future and they are therefore unable to receive correspondence via post. The ICO can be contacted via their contact page, or by ringing 0303 123 1113.
