Dear Mr Jones,

I refer to your recent request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. I can confirm that the Council does hold this
information, as detailed below.

How much money has Sunderland Council spent on purchasing Glyphosate and
spent on applying it throughout Sunderland since May 2021?

Since May 2021 the Council has spent £27,973.58 purchasing glyphosate. It
is applied using the Council’s own trained technicians and therefore no
additional costs are incurred. The highway network treatment is undertaken
by a contractor. The Council’s contract register provides details of this
information.  The contract titles, description, periods, re-tender dates,
contract values and contacts are included in the contract register.

The contract register can be found on the Corporate Procurement Internet
page:

This information has been provided in response to a Freedom of Information
request and this must be acknowledged in any subsequent use of the

re-use of this information for commercial or other purposes.

I hope this is satisfactory. If, however, you are dissatisfied with our
response to your request for information, you can ask for the decision to
be reviewed in reply to this letter, however any request for review must
be submitted within 40 days of the date of this freedom of information
response. The review will be removed from the Directorate and coordinated
by the Council’s team of Solicitors. A request for review should be
directed, by email to [2][Sunderland City Council request email] by post or
by hand addressed to Business Support, Sunderland City Council, City Hall,
Plater Way SR1 3DP.

If this fails to resolve your concerns, then you have the right to apply
to the Information Commissioner for a decision.

Kind Regards
