Thank you for contacting Worcestershire County Council (WCC).

Unfortunately WCC cannot locate the information you have requested from
the details provided. To help us meet your request could you please supply
me with further details regarding your question:

How much has been spent by the county council in Hagley annually in the
same five years? An estimate will suffice.

Could you clarify what spend you refer to: Pavements, Highways, Education
etc. or do you require a spend in Hagley as a whole?

If this is acceptable to you, then your request will then be considered
and you will receive the information requested within the 20 working day
timescale as defined by the Environmental Information Regulations 2004,
subject to the information being exempt from legal disclosure.

know.

Dear Mr Lambert,

ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION REGULATIONS 2004- INFORMATION REQUEST CONCERNING
Pavements damaged by pavement parking

Thank you for contacting Worcestershire County Council.

Your request for information has now been considered and the information
you have asked for is as follows.

1. How much has the council spent on repairing pavements damaged by

this illegal parking annually during the last five years? An

estimate will suffice.

We do not hold records of why a pavement has been damaged and cannot
supply the information requested.

2. How much has been spent by the county council in Hagley (on
pavements) annually

in the same five years? An estimate will suffice.

We do not hold this information, Worcestershire County Council work on a
County wide basis and do not hold records on individual causes of damage
or spend in a particular area.

3. What plans do the county council have to deal with this

deteriorating situation ( cracks are appearing in the pavements

even now) given the fact that the council should in theory have the

cooperation of the police under the relevant section ( 17?) of the

Crime and Disorder Act? Please give details of any plans.

This is a County wide problem which is pursued through liaison with the
police to investigate the problem and encourage them to enforce on a site
by site basis as raised by the local member.

4. Given that Hagley has a high level of senior/ disabled citizens

and there is an ageing population generally what plans under the

Disability Discrimination Act has the county council got to

remediate this awful situation? Please give details of any such

plans.

Where an issue is raised by the local member it would be investigated and
liaison with the police would be carried out
