Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of
Information Act (2000).
Since 2003/04 to the end of the 2008/09 financial year, please
could you tell me how much compensation you have paid people in
cases where you have accepted liability for not maintaining Public
Footpaths and how many such payments have been made?
For each payment please state the amount paid out, where the
footpath was for which liability was accepted and a summary of the
incident (e.g. broken bridge etc.).
Please note that the question relates to the period in which you
have paid out compensation, not the period in which the incident
took place, so incidents that took place prior to 2003/04 but were
paid out between 2003/04 and 2008/09 inclusive should be included.
Yours faithfully,
Laurence Scotford
