Response
Extent and Result of Searches to Locate Information
To locate the information relevant to your request searches were conducted within North Yorkshire Police. I can confirm that the information you have requested is held by North Yorkshire Police.
Decision
I have today decided to disclose the located information to you.
We do not have any fixed speed cameras within North Yorkshire Police force area and any average speed cameras which may or may not have been present were installed and maintained by Highways England, therefore we do not bear the costs for those within NYP
