Red Lights

Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Dorset Council should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

Dear Dorset Council,

I would like to make a request to know the value and amount of fines for running a red light in your area in 2018 please.

Yours faithfully,

Ellie Hearn

Freedom of Information, Dorset Council

Thank you for your information request. 

 

Please note:  A new unitary Dorset Council was created from 1 April 2019
covering the areas/services of the following abolished councils – Dorset
County Council, East Dorset District Council, North Dorset District
Council, Purbeck District Council, West Dorset District Council and
Weymouth & Portland Borough Council.  You will receive one response from
Dorset Council.  Over time all information requests to Dorset Council will
be answered for the whole Dorset Council area.  However, during this
transition period, it may sometimes be necessary to provide information
based on some or all of the legacy councils. 

 

If you have submitted a request for non-personal recorded information, it
will be dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) or the
Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR).  Requests for
environmental information must be dealt with under the EIR because
environmental information is not within the scope of the FOIA.

 

You will receive a response within 20 working days in line with the
FOIA/EIR.  If the request will take any longer to process (e.g., if we
need to consult third parties or seek clarification from you) we will let
you know.

 

More details about FOIA/EIR requests can be found at

[1]www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/foi

 

If you wish to request information that is your own (or someone else’s)
personal data, it will be dealt with as a Subject Access Request (SAR) and
will be answered within one month.  More details about SAR requests can be
found at

Freedom of Information, Dorset Council

Dear Ms Hearn,

 

Information Request – reference no. DC1274

 

Thank you for your information request dated 17^th December, which has
been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

 

Please note: Dorset Council was created from 1^st April 2019 covering the
areas/services of the following former councils – Dorset County Council,
East Dorset District Council, Dorset Councils Partnership (made up of
North Dorset District Council, West Dorset District Council and Weymouth &
Portland Borough Council) and Purbeck District Council.

 

Dorset Council’s response to your request is below, and you will not
receive separate responses from the former councils.

 

Dorset Council is not responsible for administering fines for running a
red light, as this is the responsibility of Dorset Police. You would
therefore need to request this information from them. The contact email
address for making information requests to Dorset Police is
[1][email address].

 

You may wish to know that you can submit requests to Dorset Council via
our e-form at
[2]https://www.dorsetcouncil.gov.uk/your-co....

 

If you are unhappy with the way your request has been handled, you may ask
for an internal review. Please email [3][email address] or
write to FOI Team, County Hall, Colliton Park, Dorchester, Dorset, DT1 1XJ
if you wish to request a review. If you are not content with the outcome
of the internal review, you then have the right to apply directly to the
Information Commissioner for a decision. The Information Commissioner can
be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water
Lane, Wilmslow, Cheshire SK9 5AF.

this does not stop us from copying information to you, it means that
unless the Act allows you to copy the information, you must not copy it
without the permission of the person who owns the copyright.

 

Yours sincerely,
