I would be grateful if you could provide me with the average cost of the following:
a) a standard traffic light, including the traffic light post;
b) the device which pedestrians' press to indicate they wish to cross the road at a pedestrian crossing;
c) the cost of the short posts to which the devices in b) are attached when two such devices are provide at a traffic light (one attached to the traffic light post and the second to a short post)
Yours faithfully,
Mr Oates

Dear Suku Phull,
I am concerned by your response to my FOI request. The Highways Agency is an Executive Agency of the Department for Transport and unless I am mistaken it has responsibility for procuring traffic signals on trunk roads. As such it must be possible to provide information on the average cost of purchase and installation of traffic signals on these roads over the past 12 months. If the DfT cannot access such information it cannot possible have proper oversight of the Agency's budget.
I would be grateful therefore if you could revisit this matter and seek to ensure that the Highways Agency provides the information requested.
With best wishes
Yours sincerely,
Mr Oates
Dear Mr Oaks,
Thank you for your email of 23 July 09 to the Department concerning the cost of traffic signal equipment. In your original email, you asked for general information on the average cost of traffic signal equipment, but you did not explicitly state that you wanted information concerning the average cost of purchase and installation of traffic signals for trunk roads and motorways, for which the Highways Agency has responsibility.
I have forwarded your request to Mr Richard Privett of the Highways Agency, who should be able to provide you with this information ([email address]].
Regards
Suku Phull
