C-Road Classifications

Dear Mr Chamberlin,

Can I clarify what you are asking, please?

Do you want to know if we can publish the C-road list, or do you want a
copy of the list yourself?

Release of Information

Dear Mr Chamberlin

I am writing to confirm that Norfolk County Council has now completed its
search for the information you requested on the 15 December 2009.

In accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000,
we have now processed your request.

Your request:
Can a list of C-Classification roads be made publicly available for
Norfolk?

Our response:
Please find attached a .xls file containing the information requested. You
will note that some roads are listed more than once. This is because roads
are sometimes divided into sections for a number of different reasons, for
instance if the speed limit changes. The 'PARNAME' column provides the
name of the parish within which the C road is located.

It would be helpful if you could quote the reference number FOI 525 if you
need to contact us again.

Yours sincerely

Matthew Smith

Dear Mr Chamberlin,

In response to your request of January 25 about the classification of C
roads in Norfolk, information has been supplied from the Planning &
Transportation department which I believe clarifies the situation
regarding the data you have had from us previously:

There are guidelines on what a C road should be:

A 'C Road' is a classified road, and these attract legislation relating
to the control of development and other matters. They usually have a value
to traffic, other than that associated with their immediate area. The more
important classified roads are given a B road number, others - less
important, are given a C road number. Usually, but not always, classified
roads connect with other classified roads.

You list A-D the roads which you believe are missing form the list of C
roads which we provided for you.
I These roads are not omissions as such from the list of C roads, as their
status is presently `Unclassified'

I confirm that the data we hold is up to date, insomuch as it shows the
current classification of all the roads which we maintain.

However we are mindful that within the classifications there are some
anomalies. These are brought about, usually, by individual, isolated
physical changes to the Network, and they need to be reviewed
I
The Planning & Transportation department is presently reviewing the B road
network and will also, in time need to look at the C road network.

We have retained a copy of the lists you have provided and will include
these in the roads to be reviewed.

In the meantime we suggest that your mapping system should reflect the
present day official classifications, as it will be some time before these
anomalies can all be reviewed and if appropriate, reclassified.

I believe that the above fully answers your enquiry. However, if you are
dissatisfied with the response or our handling of your request you have
the right of appeal through the Council's internal complaints procedure by
setting out the grounds of your appeal in writing to the Freedom of
Information Officer at:
