You asked
Dear Sir or Madam,
Please state whether Transport for London holds any CCTV footage recorded on the 14 September 2007, particularly anything around King's Cross Station.
Furthermore, please state whether any logs of identified incidents were made and if these still exist. This could be, for instance, in the form of CCTV operator notes.
If you require any further information or clarification about what I am looking for, then please do not hesitate to ask.
We answered
Our ref: FOI-0376-2122/GH Thank you for providing further detail regarding your request for CCTV footage recorded on the 14 September 2007. Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy.
Unfortunately we do not hold the information you require – as previously advised, CCTV footage is over written after 14 days unless the footage has been preserved for specific investigation purposes. Station logbooks and Incident reports are retained for 7 years, and as 14 years have now elapsed since the date you are interested in, we do not hold any of the information you are seeking. I am sorry we are unable to be of further assistance on this occasion.
If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.
If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal. Yours sincerely Graham Hurt FOI Case Officer FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
