Dear Tony Alice Fawcett,

Re: Environmental Information Regulations Request MVRWWTV5X 

I refer to your request to the council received on 26/05/2023 for the
following:

This request is being made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I
would like to request a list of roads and their numbers within your remit
- including those that are generally not signposted - in addition to the
standard M, A and B roads. These "Class III" and unclassified roads tend
to go by the designations C, D or U, although the exact details vary by
area and may differ from any or all of these. From information I already
have, Wakefield, Kirklees and Calderdale councils have numbered C roads -
the numbering system seems to be common across West Yorkshire. A map
detailing these roads would be appreciated but is not necessary for you to
fulfil your obligation. A list of roads and their numbers in spreadsheet
format is preferable, however the basic data in list format will be
adequate if a spreadsheet is unavailable.

We will respond to your request in accordance with the Environmental
Information Regulations 2004, within 20 working days, from the day after
your request was received. We will therefore aim to respond to your
request by 23/06/2023.

For reference, Leeds City Council publish a wealth of information which
you can access at: Welcome to LEEDS.GOV.UK - Leeds City Council  and Data
Mill North – Open Data for the North of England .

If your request for information is considered and deemed as a 'business as
usual' request, it will be responded to by the appropriate Service within
the Council.

If you have questions about this request, please contact us at
[Leeds City Council request email].

Yours sincerely,

Jennifer

Dear Tony Alice Fawcett,

Re: Request MVRWWTV5X

I refer to your correspondence to the council and your request for the
following:

This request is being made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000. I
would like to request a list of roads and their numbers within your remit
- including those that are generally not signposted - in addition to the
standard M, A and B roads. These "Class III" and unclassified roads tend
to go by the designations C, D or U, although the exact details vary by
area and may differ from any or all of these. From information I already
have, Wakefield, Kirklees and Calderdale councils have numbered C roads -
the numbering system seems to be common across West Yorkshire.

In dealing with your request, please note that we have considered it under
the Environmental Information Regulations 2004, as opposed to under the
Freedom of Information Act 2000. This is because the information you have
requested is information involving ‘activities’ and ‘administrative
measures’ which are likely to affect elements of the environment under Reg
2(1)(c).  I am advised that both the domestic and European courts give
wide meaning to the Regulations and have indicated that they will adopt a
broad construction of the definition of environmental information.

Please see the attached documents titled ‘All LCC roads,’ for our answers.

I trust that this response is satisfactory. Under Regulation 11, however,
you are entitled to make representations to us if it appears that we have
failed to comply with a requirement of the Regulations in relation to your
request. Representations must be made to us no later than 40 working days
after the date you believe we failed to comply with such a requirement. 

We will then consider your representations and supporting evidence and
decide if we have complied, notifying you of our decision as soon as
possible, and no later than 40 working days after the date of receipt of
your representations. 

Under Regulation 18, you are then entitled to apply to the Information
Commissioner for a decision as to whether, in any specified respect, your
request has not been dealt with in accordance with parts 2 and 3 of the
Regulations. 

Should you wish to contact the Commissioner’s Office then you can contact
the Commissioner via their website at [1]www.ico.gov.uk

I trust that this is self-explanatory.  If you have any queries, please
contact me on 0113 3784251, or by return email to [Leeds City Council request email].
