Bus shelter contracts
Dear Maldon District 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?
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?
Yours faithfully,
Scott Lloyd

Dear Scott Lloyd,
The Council does not own any bus shelter infrastructure and therefore has
no contract for maintenance. We cannot answer your questions as they
relate to a contract which does not exist.
Any shelters within our area are the responsibility of Essex County
Council or the bus companies directly.
You may wish to make a request to Essex County Council whose contact
details are below:

If you are not satisfied with our response to your request, please let us
know. If we are unable to resolve the matter quickly then you may wish to
pursue this through the Councils complaints procedure and request an
internal review of the decision. A request for an internal review must be
submitted within two months of receiving our response to your request.
Complaints should be made in writing to the Council at Princes Road,
