Dear Mr Davis

 

Thank you for your recent request made under the Freedom of Information
Act.

 

The Combined Authority does not record the total income separately for the
Queensway and Kingsway Tunnel. While receipts are held for each
transaction (cash, card, Fast Tag), providing a total would require a
manual exercise of compiling all of these for the three years in question.
Officers have estimated that this would exceed the cost limit allowed
under the Act.

 

As defined by Section 12 of the Act, the cost limit for responding to a
request under the Act for a local government body is set at £450, which is
calculated at a rate of £25 per hour (totalling the equivalent of 18
hours’ work). When considering the cost of responding, Merseytravel is
able to take into account the time spent

 

a) determining whether the information is held;

b) locating the information;

c) retrieving the original record, and

d) extracting the requested data from the original record.

 

Should the cost exceed this appropriate limit, the authority has no
obligation to fulfil the request.

 

In accordance with Section 16 of the Act, and to provide you with relevant
advice and assistance to enable your enquiry to be answered in part, we
can advise that we do hold the combined totals for each year, as well as
traffic statistics that show the tunnel used and the classification of
vehicles. From this you would be able to work out an estimate of the total
for each tunnel.

 

Should you wish to receive this, or to otherwise reduce the scope of your
enquiry, please let us know.

 

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the
right to ask for an internal review, which should be addressed to:

Jill Coule

Chief Legal Officer / Monitoring Officer

Liverpool City Region Combined Authority

[1][email address]

 

If you are not content with the result of your internal review, you also
have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner, whose address
is

The Information Commissioner’s Office,

Wycliffe House,

Water Lane,

Wilmslow,

Cheshire SK9 5AF

Dear FOI CA,

Yours sincerely,
