Roads compensation summary 1990-2015 inclusive

This request has been withdrawn by the person who made it. There may be an explanation in the correspondence below.

Dear Somerset County Council,

Please kindly provide the total compensation paid for damage caused to property or person due to poor condition of roads (potholes, etc) for the years you are able to do so starting with 2015 and work backwards until either the data is no longer reasonably accessible or until you reach the beginning of 1990 (whichever happens sooner).

It is our preference for these figures to include any additional costs (such as legal fees). If this is not possible then please kindly provide the data anyway and state what is included.

It is not our preference for sidewalks/pavement data to be included, but you may do so if it cannot easily be excluded. Please let us know either way.

In terms of which year to put the compensation figures we shall provide an example. If the damage occurred in the year 1998 we would prefer the amount paid to appear in the 1998 column and so on. If you cannot arrange the data in this way then please kindly base it on the year the claim was made. For instance if the claim was made in the year 1999 then kindly arrange for the amount paid to appear in 1999. If however you are again unable to arrange the data in this way then kindly provide it in any available way stating how it is arranged.

The authority is reminded it must provide a valid response within 20 working days of request receipt to comply with Section 10(1).

All 151 authorities in England responsible for road maintenance have been polled with this request. To-date 147 authorities have responded with the information requested.
