Dear Mr Alex Smith
Freedom of Information Act 2000
I refer to your request for information made under the provisions of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000.
Request
Please could you supply me with the following information?
a) The aggregated, anonymised feedback that was given by the public to the "Slower is
Safer, speed limits in Central South-West Birmingham" public consultation (referred to
online at <https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/economy/central-sw/>);
b) A list of all changes to the proposals for speed limit reductions in the area covered by
the consultation that were made as a consequence of the consultation (i.e. the difference
between the proposals being consulted on in the above-mentioned consultation, and the
newer set of proposals being consulted on in the "20mph Area B2 - Traffic Regulation
Order" public consultation, referred to online at
<https://www.birminghambeheard.org.uk/economy/20mph-area-b2-tro/>).
Response The consultation summary and changes, along with other information is presented in the
Full Business Case and published on the Birmingham City Council website. This report
has been approved by the Cabinet Members for Transport and Roads and Value for
Money and Efficiency jointly with the Strategic Director for Economy. The reports,
drawings and other information can be accessed at

Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 advises that information is “exempt
information if it is easily accessible to the applicant by other means”. As Birmingham City
Council has published the findings of the consultation on its web site and has provided you
with a link to those documents, the Council will not be providing you this information in any
other format.
