Dear Ms Davis
Freedom of Information Notice
Road verges - ecological protection scheme
Information Requested
West Dunbartonshire Council received your request for information on 08 March 09 relating to the following topic. You wrote.
If you run an ecological protection scheme for road verges in your
area, please could you provide me with the following details:
a) What protection measures a verge receives when it is included in
the scheme
b) The list of verges covered by the scheme (and their locations -
road name/number and six figure OS grid references would be fine)
c) For each verge, the specific reasons why the verge has been
included in the scheme - i.e. the notable species found there, or
the NVC community present
If you do not run such a scheme in your area, but you are aware
that another body does, please could you refer me to them instead.
