CCTV footage of Fore Street
Does anybody know, how I could get hold of CCTV footage of the Junction of Market St and Fore Street from Friday just gone?
There was a minor traffic incident, and it would interesting to get the footage.
Any idea?

Think the CCTV is monitored by the Police at Stevenage. Whether they are able or willing to release footage to the public is another matter.

If you have reported this to the police and have a URN (unique reference number) and wish to persue the matter - say for instance the other driver drove off without leaving details - then the officer acting can request footage from Stevenage.
I would add that only the police can request this. You can't as a individual. CCTV keep footage but and this is a big if ... the cameras were pointing at the right spot at the right time. You should be lucky as there are two cameras monitoring this point. You will need a reasonably good idea of time etc.

Isn't there some provision in the Data Protection Act that means you are entitled to request a copy of any footage that you are in?

Dude; just checked this out. There are procedures for obtaining these images if they have a clear view at CCTV. As jez says it is within the Data protection Act. Can't put much more here but if you get in touch with me by email through profile I will explain it a bit better and give you a dedicated phone number to get direct to CCTV who will be able to provide an image, if available.
