Dear Ms Storr,

 

Thank you for your request for information, made under Section 1(1) of the
Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act (FOISA), and received on 19 March
2018.

 

We would like to ask you to clarify your request so that we can identify
and locate the information which you have requested. Under Section 1(3) of
the FOISA, we do not have to supply you with the requested information
until you have provided us with more detail in this respect.

 

Could you please advise me of

 

6. length of off road/dedicated cycleway (could be at road edge but level
change or kerb provides protection)

Please note that ACC does not have off road dedicated cycle ways – we have
shared use segregated which are adjacent to the carriageway and multiple
off road paths and tracks which take a range of users e.g. core paths.  We
would therefore be grateful if you could clarify the information you would
like to receive for Question 6?

 

Clarifying these points will help us to be sure we are providing, where
possible, the information you are interested in.  Please note we will keep
your request on file for 20 working days whilst we await your
clarification.  It can often be helpful to discuss your request with a
member of our team who may be able to help you frame your request or
explain more about how ACC holds its information; if this is something you
feel may be helpful please do call us, and we will be happy to assist you.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Anna Buchan

Dear Foi Enquiries,

under 6, I am seeking information on dedicated off road cycle ways which would include the segregated paths you describe (such as the path leading to the Diamond Bridge from the north). Please do no include shared use paths under this heading.

I’m seeking a comparison to my 2014 request https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/c...
