Costs associated with East and West Greenwich Neighbourhood Management Scheme

The request was partially successful.

Dear Greenwich Borough Council,

The East and West Greenwich Neighbourhood Management Scheme has recently been introduced. As a part of that scheme street signage was introduced at numerous locations eg zoning boundaries, junctions between various side roads and Trafalgar and Woolwich Roads. Many of these were incorrectly placed and had to be subsequently removed.

Please provide -
1) An estimate (hours and cost per hour) of officer time spent commissioning, allocating, designing, procuring, supervising the installation and the subsequent removal etc
2) Confirm the number of signs which were incorrectly placed and subsequently removed
3) Confirm the cost of design and manufacture of these signs and associated mountings eg poles, brackets etc
4) Confirm the cost of installation of these signs
4) Confirm the additional cost of removing these signs

Yours faithfully,

Hedley Shaw

Our response is as follows:

The East and West Greenwich Neighbourhood Management Scheme has recently
been introduced.  As a part of that scheme street signage was introduced
at numerous locations eg zoning boundaries, junctions between various side
roads and Trafalgar and Woolwich Roads. Many of these were incorrectly
placed and had to be subsequently removed.

Please provide -

1) An estimate (hours and cost per hour) of officer time spent
commissioning, allocating, designing, procuring, supervising the
installation and the subsequent removal etc

We do not hold this data as this scheme has involved a large number of
staff who have performed various duties as part of their normal workload
and we are not able to estimate this.

2) Confirm the number of signs which were incorrectly placed and
subsequently removed

32.

3) Confirm the cost of design and manufacture of these signs and
associated mountings eg poles, brackets etc
£19,816.69.

4) Confirm the cost of installation of these signs

We do not currently hold data on the cost of installing the signage, as
our term contractor has yet to is finalise their costs.

4) Confirm the additional cost of removing these signs

our term contractor has yet to finalise their costs .
