NCC - Information Management, Newport City Council

Dear John Allen,

 

Thank you for your recent request for information which I have enclosed
below for ease of reference. Your request has been treated in accordance
with the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and/or the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004.

Your Request: REQ09253

I can confirm that we do hold information that falls within the scope of
your request. The answers to your questions have been provided in Red Text
below:

 

 1. What method do you use for weed control?

Depending on the areas we are dealing with we use a combination of
chemical and manual removal treatments, including mechanised weed ripping
machines and Nomix droplet system. 

 

 

 2. Do you use Chemicals?

Yes

 

 

 3. If you use chemicals is the council looking to using a more
environmentally friendly   method?

Yes. We have recently purchased mechanical weed ripping equipment which
had reduced our reliance on chemical significantly and are looking at
other suitable alternatives.

 

 

 4. Does the council carry out weed control duties in-house or is this
contracted out?

We carry out all weed control duties in house.

 

 

 5. (If contracted out) who is the contractor responsible for Weed control
duties?

N/A

 

 

 6. Does the council have a budget for a chemical free alternative?

No, it is all included in the overall budget for weed control.

 

 

 

 7. Contact details for the person(s) responsible for managing weed
control within the council?

The Council does not publish direct contact details for staff below the
level of Head of Service, including email addresses and phone numbers.
Instead, it promotes the use of our website [1]www.newport.gov.uk and City
Contact Centre (telephone (01633) 656656, email at
[2][email address]).  This helps to ensure that customers are always
directed to the appropriate person and that e-mail correspondence is
routed correctly.  It also ensures that any staff moves do not affect the
public's ability to contact the Council and gain appropriate information. 

Please find below the relevant Head of Service for the service you refer
to. 

Paul Jones, Head of City Services  [3][email address]

In addition, further advice on contacting the Council (including an online
contact form) can be found at: [4]http://www.newport.gov.uk/contactus

 

I hope this provides the information you were looking for; if there is any
further information that we can provide, please submit a further request.
If you have any queries about this email or if you are unhappy with the
service you have received in relation to your request and wish to make a
complaint or request a review of our decision, please contact me.

If you are not content with the subsequent outcome of your complaint, you
may apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.
Generally, the ICO cannot make a decision unless you have exhausted the
Councils complaints procedure. The Information Commissioner can be
