Dear Ms Harwood,

I apologise for the delay in responding to your request for information
held by the Authority under the provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act.

Please find the information you requested enclosed. If you have any
queries concerning the information please contact me at the supplied
address.

. I accessed your website and read your Publication Scheme
which had
a link to foi-transport-streets. I followed this link to the
relevant page which had seven links to subheadings including
'Highways' and 'Roads, Highways & Pavements' but when I clicked on
both these links they indicated 'page not found' so I am now making
a written request.

The faulty link has been reported and will be corrected in due course.

.
