Dear FOI Glasgow,

Thank you for the information you have supplied but you have not supplied some of the details that was asked for.

You have failed to answer the part of what powers are the police officer using to order a vehicle off the road when a tyre is under 3mm as the information you supplied is only for taxi testing at a nominated taxi test centre and not for spot checks by police officers.

You have not supplied the information regarding correspondence between the council and police Scotland and you have failed for information from police Scotland to the traffic officers.

I would be grateful if you can supply this information.

Regards

Yours sincerely,

alan dundas
