Accidents caused by vehicles moving off vehicle crossings on the A6110

Dear Sir,
 
Thank you for your request for the above information which was received on
21 September, 2011. I can confirm that your request is being dealt with in
accordance with the Freedom of Information Act 2000, and that you will
receive a response within the appropriate statutory time limit. 

Before proceeding with your request, however, I have been asked to gain
clarification on the information you require: In your request, you ask for
accident data from the A6110, however, having consulted with our Highways
Service, I am advised that this road does not run past the location
discussed in the rest of your request. It is therefore suspected that you,
in fact, refer to the A6120. Could you confirm?
 
Additionally, with respect to the second part of your request, please note
that Freedom of Information relates to information held by the Council in
a recorded format. A question regarding why a particular decision was
arrived at may, therefore, be better answered under the
Council's complaints procedure (allowing for a detailed response), rather
than under the Act.
 
If you would like me to progress this query through our complaints
procedure as opposed to the Act please let me know. Note that the Council
usually handles such complaints through a private address, as opposed to
via a pubic website, and as such I'd be grateful if you wish to pursue
this option, if you could email this request directly to myself
([1][email address]) via a private email address.
 
Regards,

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your quick response.

With respect to your Freedom of Information request, please find attached the accident statistics for the road in question. Please note that the information provided is for all accidents on the A6120, as we do hold information detailing solely how many accidents have being caused due to vehicle crossings (you may, however, be able ascertain this by analysing the data).

I trust that this is helpful, however, if you are dissatisfied with the response to your request, then you have a right to appeal to an independent officer within City Development. On appeal, your request will be re-examined and an assessment made as to whether the requirements of the Act have been adhered to. Should you wish to follow this course of action then please address your concerns in writing to Jayne Conboy, Information Practitioner, The Leonardo Building. 2 Rossington Street,LS2 8HD

You also have a right under Section 50 of the Freedom of Information Act to ask the Information Commissioner to take a decision as to whether we have met with our obligations under the Act. The Commissioner has made it clear however that he expects all applicants to exhaust internal appeals procedures prior to making such an application. Should you wish to contact the Commissioner's Office then you can write to the following address:

Office of the Information Commissioner,
Wycliffe House,
Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire,
SK9 5AF.

As per your correspondence below, I will await your additional email, and ask that this be put through the Council's complaints procedure on receipt.

Regards,

Richard Brook,
Administration Assistant,
