Southwark Council - Information request response

Our reference: 338979

══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════

Dear Mr O'reilly,

Re: Your request for information: 338979

I am writing further to your request for information dated 1 November 2013
to advise you that we have now completed our search for the information
you requested:

I would like to submit a Freedom of Information request for you to provide
me with a full list (in a machine-readable format, preferably Excel) of
highways maintainable at public expense (including adopted roads) in
Southwark. In addition, I would also like to request a complete list of
private roads and highways within the Borough. Finally, if available, I
would like a list of roads and property maintained by Network Rail within
the Borough.

The information that can be disclosed is attached to this e-mail. The list
of roads maintainable at public expense has a PH (Public Highway) as the
category and includes Transport for London (Red Routes) within the
Borough. The Private roads listed are as per known and therefore may not
be complete. 

You are free to use the information provided for your own purposes,
including any non-commercial research you are doing and for the purposes
of news reporting. Any other re-use, for example commercial publication,
requires the permission of the copyright holder. You may apply for
permission to re-use this information by submitting a request to
[Southwark Borough Council request email]; you can find details on these arrangements at
[1]http://www.southwark.gov.uk/YourCouncil/.... Detailed advice
about the Reuse of Public Sector Information Regulations (PSI) 2005 is
available from the Office of Public Sector Information at:
[2]http://www.opsi.gov.uk/advice/index.htm.

However, following a search of our records, I have established that the
remainder of the information you requested is not held by Southwark
Council.

We do not hold a list of roads or property maintained by Network Rail
within the Borough; I have attached a link to the contacts section of the
Network Rail website for you to make contact with them:

If you are not content with the outcome your appeal, you may apply
directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision. Generally, the
Information Commissioner cannot make a decision unless you have first
exhausted our internal appeal procedure and you should contact him within
2 months of the outcome of your internal appeal.

Further information is available through the Information Commissioner at
