In Response:

Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with both the Corporate Development and Finance Departments of Northumbria Police.  I can confirm that the information you have requested is held, in part, by Northumbria Police.

I am able to disclose the located information to you as follows.

  1. We are unable to conduct our searches specifically to the Southfields Estate as we do not have a boundary to work upon.  However, we are able to supply figures for the footbeat which contains the Southfields Estate, and as such can advise during the period specified by your request, we have been contacted 1,586 times regarding ASB within that footbeat.
  2. No information held.  Dealing with such issues forms part of an Officers normal day to day duties and as such is not costed separately.

Disclaimer

Due to the different methods of recording information across 43 forces, a specific response from one constabulary should not be seen as an indication of what information could be supplied (within cost) by another. Systems used for recording these figures are not generic, nor are the procedures used locally in capturing the data. For this reason responses between forces may differ, and should not be used for comparative purposes.

The information we have supplied to you is likely to contain intellectual property rights of Northumbria Police.
