Police costs at Preston New Road Cuadrilla site

The request was partially successful.

Dear Lancashire Constabulary,

Please treat this email as a request for information under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, alternatively the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Please would you confirm the total number of police hours and the total cost to Lancashire constabulary of policing the Cuadrilla development site on Preston New Road between 5 January 2017 and 14 February 2017.

To assist I confirm the cost of processing the arrestees may be excluded.

Yours faithfully,

Benjamin Dean

Dear Lancashire Constabulary,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Lancashire Constabulary's handling of my FOI request 'Police costs at Preston New Road Cuadrilla site'.

I consider your reason for refusing this FOI to be weak and not in the public interest.

I do not believe that you do not have internal systems in place to calculate the costs of policing this specific development site.

After all only last week LCC/Lancashire Constabulary lobbied central government for a refund of its costs for policing this site. I am sure a cost must have been quoted to the government. Can you at least advise me of what sums were quoted to the government?

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/p...

Yours faithfully,

Benjamin Dean
