Thank you for your Freedom of information (FOI) request logged under the
above reference.   

    

The Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) places two duties on public
authorities:     

    

Unless exemptions apply, the first duty (at [1]Section 1(1)(a)) is to
confirm or deny whether the information specified in a request is
held. The second duty (at [2]Section 1(1)(b)) is to disclose information
that has been confirmed as being held.      

However, where exemptions are relied upon ([3]Section 17 of FOIA), there
is a requirement to provide the applicant with an explanation either:     

a) stating the fact      

b) detailing the exemption(s) in question and     

c) why the exemption applies (if not apparent).     

      

Information Request   

Would you be able to send over data outlining the total number of road
traffic collisions recorded by Essex Police in the following years, and a
breakdown of the type of transport involved which forms that total.

FOI Duty    

First Duty – Essex Police does hold information relating to your
request.

Fact – Essex Police does hold the information relating to your request

Refusal – [4]Section 17(1) Exemptions – [5]Section 21, [6]Section 22

Other Means) states that, information is exempt information if it is
reasonably accessible to the applicant otherwise than under Section 1 of
the FOIA.

that information is held with a view to its publication at some future
date.
