Dear [Name Removed]

Oxford City Council – Reference: 10250

Thank you for your email. Your request was received on 12th July 2021 and you will be sent a response within 20 working days (of receipt) in accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000/ Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR), subject to the information not being exempt or containing reference to a third party.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) recognises the unprecedented challenges all are facing during the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.

In particular they understand that resources, whether they are finances or people, may be diverted away from usual compliance or information rights work. Whilst the ICO can’t extend statutory timescales, they will not be penalising public authorities for prioritising other areas or adapting their usual approach during this extraordinary period.

Therefore while the Council will make every effort to comply with the Statutory Requirements you may experience understandable delays when making information rights requests during the pandemic.

Yours sincerely

Kathryn Winfield
Information Governance Requests Officer

Dear [Name Removed]

Oxford City Council – Reference: 10250

Further to the acknowledgement below, I can respond to your Freedom of
Information Act 2000 request received on 12^th July 2021 as follows:

Can you provide details about this contract for CCTV in public spaces with
Thames Valley Police?

How many cameras does this cover? Are any other surveillance technologies
included in this contract or other contracts between TVP and OCC?

We have 51 public space cameras in the city that are monitored within the
police station.  The monitoring suite is owned by the Council and the
staff are employed by the police, but 2/3 funded by the Council.

There are no other surveillance technology contracts between Oxford City
Council and the police.

If you disagree with any part of the response to your request, you are
entitled to ask the Council for an internal review of the decision(s)
made.  You may do this by writing to the Monitoring Officer, by either
email – [1][email address] – or by post to Monitoring Officer, Oxford City
Council, St Aldate’s Chambers, St Aldate’s, Oxford, OX1 1DS.  After the
result of the internal review, if you remain dissatisfied, you may ask the
Information Commissioner to intervene on your behalf.  You may do this by
writing to the Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF.

Yours sincerely
