Road verges - ecological protection scheme

Susan Davis made this Freedom of Information request to Sefton Borough Council

The request was successful.

From: Susan Davis

8 March 2009

Dear Sir or Madam,

If you run an ecological protection scheme for road verges in your
area, please could you provide me with the following details:

a) what protection measures a verge receives when it is included in
the scheme

b) the list of verges covered by the scheme (and their locations -
road name/number and six figure OS grid references would be fine)

c) for each verge, the specific reasons why the verge has been
included in the scheme - i.e. the notable species found there, or
the NVC community present

If you do not run such a scheme in your area, but you are aware
that another body does, please could you refer me to them instead.

Many thanks,

Susan Davis

Dear Ms Davis,

I refer to your request under the Freedom of Information Act asking if
we run an ecological protection scheme for road verges in our area.

Sefton Council (being a predominantly urban highway authority) do not
have such a scheme.

I hope this answers your query but if you need any further information
please do not hesitate to contact us.

Yours sincerely,

Mike McSorley
Head of Technical Services
