I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 5th December 2023 and clarified on 19th December 2023. Please find below the response to your request:

This email is following on from a recent FOI request we sent you regarding the vehicles in your fleet. In this instance you refused to supply us with the relevant information which we requested.
1. Firstly, we would now like to request for a copy of the NPCC letter, so we can have a better understanding as to why and who is refusing the release of the data we requested.
2. Additionally, we would like to request to know how you as an organisation dispose of the vehicles in your fleet? We are requesting this information on how the vehicles are exited from your fleet (i.e. Auction).
3. Further to this, we request information regarding to whether vehicles are disposed of randomly or there is a process and set time as to when the vehicles are released from your fleet.
4. Finally we request you to notify us on how many vehicles are currently in your fleet.
Clarification:

To proceed with our most recent FOI could I ask that you ignore question 1, and proceed with answering questions number 2,3, and 4.
