Updated Fleetlist for 2023
Dear South Wales Fire & Rescue Service,
I am writing to request an uptodate Fleetlist for South Wales Fire and Rescue Service. I am have been made aware that you procured some new appliances and would like to have a full allocation list of these. This must include the following information: Vehicle Registration, Make, Model, Builder, Type and Location.
It will not be accepted that South Wales FRS place the request as not in the public interest and refuse to pass this information due to National Security or following the CPNI guidance. These are public assets and South Wales FRS must remember this.
It is also to be noted that the below which has come from the ICO to which the information is now allowed to be released.
A recent Decision Notice on the ICO's web site related to the
publishing of Vehicle Registration Marks (VRMs) in response to Freedom of Information
requests and, in particular, the difference between vehicles registered to individuals and
those registered to organisations. It also referenced vehicles registered to organisations but
have subsequently been sold-on and may now be registered to individuals.
‘26. The Commissioner has previously considered the status of VRM’s under the DPA 1998
and decided that where the VRM belongs to a vehicle which is owned by a living individual
the VRM itself will be personal data without associated information being disclosed with it.
This is because information identifying the owner of the vehicle is obtainable simply from
having access to the VRM."
"27. However, the Commissioner notes that where the owner of a vehicle is a corporate
body or an organisation rather than a living identifiable individual then VRM information
cannot be personal data. Section 40(2) cannot therefore apply to this information."
"29. Following on from this, a disclosure of any VRM data which refers to vehicles which
have since been sold on to private individuals would also be a disclosure of personal data,
relating to the new owner of the vehicle. A motivated individual with access to the VRM
number of a vehicle would be able to take steps to identify the current owner of that
vehicle."
Yours faithfully,
David Smith

Dear South Wales Fire & Rescue Service,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of South Wales Fire & Rescue Service's handling of my FOI request 'Updated Fleetlist for 2023'.
On your response letter you have stated that 'Specialist Vehicles' have been redacted. Why is this now happening as on a previous request that was made last year, theses vehicles were shown. If in regards to the new Heavy Rescue Tenders, then why have you allowed members of the public to photograph these on stations and then being allowed to upload social media.
I strongly disagree with this response and would like this to be reviewed as urgent as possible
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/u...
Yours faithfully,
David Smith
