Dear Cris Lehmann,

 

Request for information under the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002

 

With regard to your request for information – Council Vehicle Fleet

 

Question

 1. A list of vehicles owned or leased to the council. Please include;
registration mark (or year made, if preferable), fleet number (if
used), make & model and body type.
 2. Identify which vehicles are owned and which are leased.
 3. Name, position and email address of the staff responsible for these
vehicles, together with the telephone number for the department
(direct dial not expected given GDPR.)
 4. The estimated amount of spend (£) on diesel/petrol per annum and the
cost split between owned and leased vehicles.

 

Answer

 1. Please find attached the full list of council vehicles, both owned and
leased. We do not have a central record of all registration numbers
and we do not have records about when the vehicle was made. We do have
the year the vehicle came into the service of the Highland Council,
and this has been provided instead.
 2. As above. The vehicles which are leased have a lease company and date
of lease recorded next to them.
 3. The Transport and Logistics Manager, Mike Cooper, is responsible for
these vehicles. He is best contacted at [1][email address]
or 01463 702954.
 4. Please find attached a spreadsheet showing actual spend on fuel for
the 2019-20 financial year.

 

Under Section 20 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 you
have the right to request that the Highland Council reviews any aspect of
how it has dealt with your request. This requirement for review should be
put in writing to the Freedom of Information Officer, Chief Executive’s
Office, Glenurquhart Road, Inverness IV3 5NX, within 40 working days of
receipt of this letter. The request should include details of the
information requested and the aspects of the Highland Council’s response
which you are not satisfied with.

 

If you are subsequently dissatisfied with the outcome of the Council's
review, you have the right to appeal to the Scottish Information
Commissioner under Section 47 of the Act, within six months of receiving
the Council's review response.

 

Further guidance on information request reviews and right to appeal can be
found on the Scottish Information Commissioner website at

Yours sincerely,

 

Nina Dempsey
