This request is being handled under the Environmental Information Regulations
2004.
Request
We request the following information under the Freedom of Information Act.
* We are still waiting for analysis of the current bus service survey carried out
some months ago by TfWM and clarity on the reasoning that the existing bus
service presumably was found lacking in some way.
* Findings of traffic survey cameras and resulting report and analysis,
* Highways assessments carried out by your appointed consultants and
resulting report and recommendations, particularly regarding risk assessments
and health and safety which is our priority.
* A copy of Birmingham Council Local Plan to establish that you have adhered
to the National Planning Policy Framework
Response
I am writing to inform you that we have searched our records and some of the
information you requested is not held by Birmingham City Council. Therefore
regulation 12(4)(a) applies to your request. Regulation 12(4)(a) provides an
exception to the duty to disclose information when information is not held. The
reason the information is not held is because the scheme is being delivered by
Transport for West Midlands (TfWM). Should you require more information you
should contact TfWM Customer Service team at
