From: Daniel Davidson
Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,
I am writing to make a formal request under the Official Information Act 1982 for information regarding all deaths or serious injuries that have occurred around school zones in Auckland.
Specifically, I am seeking data on all reported incidents involving fatalities or serious injuries within the last year in the vicinity of schools in the Auckland region. Please include information on the exact location of each incident, the date and time it occurred, a brief description of the incident, and any available information on the circumstances surrounding it.
If possible, I would like the data to be categorized by the schools' names and locations to facilitate analysis and understanding of potential patterns. However, I understand that providing such details might be subject to privacy considerations, and I am willing to accept anonymized data to protect the privacy of individuals involved.
I am making this request in the interest of promoting road safety and understanding potential risks to pedestrians, especially children, in school zones. Access to this information will aid in research and analysis to identify any areas of concern and help in developing strategies to enhance safety measures around schools.
Please consider this a formal request, and I look forward to receiving the requested information in a timely manner, as stipulated by the Official Information Act. If there are any charges or fees associated with processing this request, kindly inform me in advance.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or require further clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me via the provided contact details.
Yours faithfully,
Daniel Davidson
