Dear Cambridgeshire County Council,

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information:

1. Do you have a contract with a commercial partner to provide and maintain your bus shelter infrastructure? If yes, who is your contracted provider?

2. What are the start and end dates of your bus shelter contract, including any optional extensions?

3. What is the financial value of your contract?

4. How many bus shelters does the contract cover?

5. How many of the bus shelters covered in the contract have advertising shells? What is the breakdown of these advertising shells between traditional print and digital?

Cambridgeshire County Council has now considered your request under the
Freedom of Information Act. We can confirm that we do not hold the
information requested by you. Please find our response as set out below.

 

 

Your request:

 

Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the
following information:

 

1. Do you have a contract with a commercial partner to provide and
maintain your bus shelter infrastructure? If yes, who is your contracted
provider?

 

2. What are the start and end dates of your bus shelter contract,
including any optional extensions?

 

3. What is the financial value of your contract?

 

4. How many bus shelters does the contract cover?

 

5. How many of the bus shelters covered in the contract have advertising
shells? What is the breakdown of these advertising shells between
traditional print and digital?

 

5. What restrictions are there within the contract in relation to
advertising in your bus shelters – for example, are there any industries
or topics that cannot be advertised?

 

 

Our response:

 

We can confirm that we do not hold the requested information as bus
shelter contracts is a responsibility of the Parish/District councils in
Cambridgeshire rather than the County Council.

 

It should be noted that whilst bus shelters are located on the highway,
they do not form part of the highway asset provided and managed by the
County Council as the Highway Authority.

 

The responsibility for the maintenance and management of them lies with
Parish and District Councils. The County Council is responsible for the
bus infrastructure associated with the Guided Busway, which includes the
bus shelters. The County Council does not have any procurement
arrangements in place for the purchase of bus shelters.

 

Please refer to the following link for further information: [1]Improve
highways and the environment - Cambridgeshire County Council.

 

Contact details for the other councils in the county, and further
information on the services they provide, can be found on the following
webpage: [2]Not sure which council to contact? - Cambridgeshire County
Council.

We hope this information is helpful but 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, you should write to Information Management,
at either [3][Cambridgeshire County Council request email] or by post at Cambridgeshire County
Council, Box No: SCO2306, Scott House, 5 George Street, Huntingdon PE29

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information

Generally, the ICO will not undertake a review or make a decision on a
request until the internal review process has been completed.

 

 

Yours sincerely
