Road verges - ecological protection scheme

Dear Sir or Madam,

I made an FoI request to Bedfordshire County Council in March, but
I was not able to ascertain whether the authority had been able to
answer it in full before its disbanding. A request to the BCC FoI
mail box for an update directs me to you. Please see my original
request and follow-up query below. If you wish to treat it as a new
FoI request, that's fine. The person dealing with it was Carol
Fuller.

Yours faithfully,

Susan Davis

Original request:

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

Follow-up query:

Dear Carol,

Thank you for your reply. Could you confirm that Bedfordshire
County Council does not hold any information itself which would
help to answer parts (a) and (c) of my request? The reason I ask is
that I'm unsure how you can carry out the management of these
verges if you don't hold any information about how they are to be
managed, and what features they are being managed for, but perhaps
I am missing part of the picture.

Yours sincerely,

Susan Davis

Dear Annette,

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately the PDF document wasn't
attached - could you send it through?

Yours sincerely,

Susan Davis
