Thank you for your requests which we received on 20 November 2023, asking for information about CCTV cameras on Camberwell Church Street, Wandsworth High Street and New Kent Road.
Your requests have been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIRs) and our information access policy. We do hold the information you require.
However, in accordance with the EIRs, we are not obliged to supply the specific information you require as it is subject to a statutory exception to the right of access to information under regulations R12(5)(a) – international relations, defence, national security & public safety (in this instance specifically public safety), regulation 12(5)(b) – the course of justice, the ability of a person to receive a fair trial or the ability of the public authority to conduct and inquiry of a criminal or disciplinary nature – (in this instance specifically the course of justice), and regulation 12(5)(e) – confidentially of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provide by law to protect a legitimate economic interest.
Our infrastructure, including enforcement cameras, have been subject to sustained instances of criminal damage and so we are currently forced to limit the information put into the public domain about our assets. The full rationale for the use of the aforementioned regulations is explained in more detail in a published response to a previous information request which is available on our website here:
