Council Estates in Solihull and Security companies which operate cctv cameras in these estates

[Name Removed] made this Freedom of Information request to Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council This request has been closed to new correspondence. Contact us if you think it should be reopened.

The request was partially successful.

Dear Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council,

1) I am looking to obtain details on the location of council owned housing estates in the area of Solihull. Ideally i would prefer a map that shows clearly the defined area of each estate which would probably be something held by a GIS team on ArcView or MapInfo type products. I cannot seem to find anything online.
I would be very grateful if you could supply a map of this information naming the estates.

2) I would also the name of every single CCTV security agency which holds a contract to operate the CCTV cameras which monitor the Council estates in the above

Yours faithfully,

Dear FOI Information Governance Team,

The time period I am interested in is from the present date to a minimum of 12 months in future from the present date.

I have looked at the link to contract and tendors and I am afraid it is inadequate in respect to my second question (not specific enough- doesn't mention the exact application of the security services)

Yours sincerely,

Dear Unallocated requests,

Sorry, you misunderstand me- I don't want information that will be held up to 12 months after the present date.
I wanted to know who holds the current contract- and ideally the contract will be of long enough duration- hopefully for the next 12 months- so that I can know which CCTV security agencies will still be holding the contract many months from now.
Do you understand now what I meant?

Yours sincerely,
