Highways Agency managed roads
Dear Highways Agency,
Environmental Information Regulations / INSPIRE Regulations - request for information
1) From your FOI Disclosure Log (CRS ref no 552870), please provide the PDF attachments for footbridges and road bridges in CSV format.
2) Please provide a download from your Geographic Information System(s) of the geography of the land and roads controlled by the Highways Agency. My preferred format to receive this information is by electronic means and in a machine readable form, such as the ESRI Shapefile or similar vector data format, appropriate for use with GIS software. If you need further clarification, please could you provide assistance by letting me know details of the available map layers.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Skene
