Dear Anzir Boodoo
This request is being handled under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
Request
Dear Birmingham City Council,
We would like to request the locations and any data held on road blocks and
modal filters installed by the Council.
We are requesting the geographical locations of these blocks and modal filters
installed between 1970 and 2015, as well as the dates they were installed, the
type of filter and the materials used
The data we require is:
1. Location
2. Date implemented (year or year/month)
3. Type of block or filter: allows pedestrians only, pedestrians & cyclists (modal
filter), buses (bus gate), emergency services only (fire gate)
4. Information on materials if available (concrete, brick, planters etc.)
We are asking a number of Local Authorities for this information, and would like
to make comparisons between authorities, so we may ask for clarification of
some aspects and/or data points as part of our data cleaning process.
Thank you for your time, and we look forward to hearing from you
Yours faithfully,
Anzir Boodoo...

Response
I am writing to advise you that, following a search of our paper and electronic
records, I have established that the information you requested is not held
by Birmingham City Council.
Birmingham City Council do not hold any information for modal filters installed
between 1970 and 2015.
The recently installed modal filters were part of the Places for People (LTN)
projects delivered as part of the Emergency Transport Plan and Active Travel
Fund which were not delivered until September 2020.
Please quote the reference number 23751482 in any future communications.
