Dear Thomas,

I am writing in response to your Freedom of Information request dated
24^th July 2024.

For ease of reference, I have reproduced your questions below and set out
our corresponding responses.

Earlier this year saw pro-Palestine activists set up an encampment on
university grounds.

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I wish to know the cost that the
encampment had on the university; be it the cost of running security on
the site, the cost of resorting the quality of the damaged ground and any
other costs which have been incurred.

Security £125,522.04
Portaloos £2,208.20
Heras Fencing (Horseshoe perimeter) £1,800.00
CURRENT TOTAL = £129,530.24

There will be additional costs incurred for restoring the space so that it
is available for staff and students.

I trust this information satisfies your enquiry.  Should you feel
dissatisfied with this response or the way in which your request was
handled you can request an Internal Review. This should be made in writing
within 40 working days of the date of this email. Please provide your
unique reference number of your request, information on why you are
dissatisfied and any detail you would like us to consider as part of the
Internal Review process. Email your request to
[1][email address] where it will be forwarded to the
University’s Data Protection Officer who will be responsible for
overseeing the review.

If you remain dissatisfied following the outcome, you have the right to
apply directly to the Information Commissioner for consideration.  The
Information Commissioner can be contacted at the following address:
Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, Wilmslow,
Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Further information is available on their
