Subject
Freedom of Information request -
Accidents and incidents in the area
of the Silver Jubilee Bridge

Dear Cheshire Police Authority,

I would appreciate information regarding the number and nature of
road traffic accidents and incidents that have occurred on the
Silver Jubilee Bridge over the last 2 years. I would appreciate it
if the road conditions and status of road closures/road works on
the bridge have been recorded for this information to be attached
to the information. I am trying to determine if there is a
correlation between the status of the road works and the number of
accidents.

I would also like the number, nature and copies of complaints,
notices or any other formal or informal comment passed by members
of the road traffic policing team (or indeed any other person or
organisation) regarding the nature of the road works currently
taking place on the bridge.

Yours faithfully,

E Jones
