The Freedom of Information Act 2000 came into force on 1 January 2005. Under the Act, anybody may request information from a public authority which has functions in England, Wales and/or Northern Ireland. The Act gives applicants two statutory rights:
- To be told whether or not the public authority hold that information; and if so,
- To have that information communicated to them
Although the Surrey Safety Camera Partnership does not qualify as a public authority, its member partners do. Therefore, in the interests of openness, the Partnership will act as much as possible like a public body in relation to the Act. Although the information requested could be held by any one or more of the Partner organisations, all FOI requests will be logged with the County Council (the lead partner organisation).
The Partnership's intention is to make available as much public interest information as possible via this website. A number of items of information that are frequently requested using the FOI act can be downloaded via the page link to the left. Our FOI Publication Scheme, which details what information we held and how it can be accessed, can be found at the bottom of this page.

And we will respond no later than 20 working days after receiving your request in accordance with the Act.
Please note:
- When requesting information, please include your name, address (email or postal) and telephone number, and the information you would like to access.
- If the Partnership holds the information requested, we will provide it. If it does not hold the information we will do our best to assist by advising you which agency may hold it.
- Most information will be made available free of charge, however if a fee does apply in relation to a request, we will inform you in writing and release the information following receipt of payment.
- There may be occasions where information requested may not be able to be released in part or at all under the Act's agreed exemptions. This will be confirmed in writing in each instance.
- We will withhold personal information under the Data Protection Act 1998.
