LSOA and camera specifications for the Safer Streets Fund

Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner did not have the information requested.

Dear Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner,

I write to you in order to request the information set out below. My request is pursuant to the FOIA.

The request concerns the investment made by the Home Office into your district under the Safer Streets Fund, announced in July 2020.

Please can you provide the following:
1. All the LSOAs (lower super output areas) under your jurisdiction that the intervention area covers
2. The specification for CCTV that will be installed in these areas including:
i) the model of camera
ii) a description of the camera
iii) the number of cameras that will be installed

If no CCTV cameras are planned, please make this clear.

If you need clarification please contact me at this email address. Under your section 16 duty to provide advice and assistance I would expect you to contact me if you find this request unmanageable in any way before the 20th working day, which is March 4.

I would be grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received this request, and I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

Yours faithfully,

Hazel Sheffield

OPCC, Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner

Dear Ms Sheffield,

 

Re: Freedom of Information Request ref: 2021-38

 

I refer to your recent request:

 

“Please can you provide the following:

1. All the LSOAs (lower super output areas) under your jurisdiction that
the intervention area covers

2. The specification for CCTV that will be installed in these areas
including:

i) the model of camera

ii) a description of the camera

iii) the number of cameras that will be installed

 

If no CCTV cameras are planned, please make this clear.”

 

In response to your request, I must advise that whilst the Police and
Crime Commissioner has oversight and governance of the Safer Streets Fund
project, Wirral Council is the project lead and asset owner. The PCC has
no involvement in the location or specifications of CCTV and therefore,
our response is “no information held”.

 

You may wish to re-direct your request to Wirral Council. Further details
about their FOI process can be found via their website:

May I thank you for taking the time to contact this office.
