Maintenance reports for stane street Billingshurst and road maintenance policy
Dear West Sussex County
Request for information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act relating to a road your authority is responsible for maintaining.
Specifically, my query relates to the Stane Street, Billingshurst.
Please can you send me:
A copy of your current road maintenance policy relating to that road. Please send me the full policy, but this should include details of the intended frequency of road safety inspections, how these inspections should be conducted and the maximum time between identification of a defect and repairs being carried out.
A copy of the road repair history for that road over the past year. Again, please send me the full road repair history, but this should include:
- dates of all safety inspections between 19/11/15 and 19/1/16
- details of how safety inspections were undertaken (walked or driven, speed of inspection vehicle etc)
- details of all carriageway defects identified, with description, date and time
- details of how the authority handled these defects, what repairs were undertaken and the time between the identification of each defect and a repair being carried out.
A copy of any reports of defects on this stretch of road by members of the public/the police.
Please confirm in writing that you have received this request. I look forward to your response within 20 working days, as outlined by the statute.
Yours faithfully,
Paul Ellis
Dear Mr Ellis,
Thank you for your enquiry, which has been forwarded to the appropriate
officers for a response. The usual timescale for a response is twenty
working days, that is by or on 6 April 2016.
If for any reason the Council needs to extend this timescale you will be
notified in accordance with the relevant legislation.
Please note that in 2012 the County Council adopted a position in
principle that FoI and EIR requests to West Sussex County Council and the
Council's responses may be published on the Council's website in a
suitably anonymised form. This is in addition to the individual response
to the requestor, and in line with the Council's commitment to
transparency and open data.
Yours sincerely,
Duncan Macdonald
