Road verges - ecological protection scheme

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

The request was successful.

From: Susan Davis

13 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,

Thank you for you Freedom of Information request of 16 March 2009 in which
you asked:

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?

In response, Islington does not have any such schemes within the borough
and due to the nature of the area are confident that no other organisation
does.

If you have a complaint about the handling of your enquiry then please
contact Jeremy Tuck, Chief Information Officer at 60 Highbury New Park,
London N5 2DJ. Alternatively please email: [Islington Borough Council request email].
