Number of Roadworks 2021-2022
Dear Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the number of street works and road works carried out by both the council and third parties such as utility companies for the 2021/22 financial year.
If possible, I would also like to know the cost to the council for the applicable works carried out.
Yours faithfully,
Katie Swann
Dear Ms Swann
Thank you for your email received on 14 September 2022 requesting information about Roadworks.
Please note you can now log a Freedom of Information request on our online portal on the following link https://www.knowsley.gov.uk/your-council...
I have recorded your request for information under reference F2022.09.5835.
This has been passed to the relevant service and you will receive a response by 12 October 2022.
In line with guidance published by the Information Commissioner’s Office, the council may make a charge for the provision of information – for example in order to cover the costs of postage (in line with the relevant postal charges) or charges for printing and copying (which will reflect photocopying charges levied by the council’s public libraries) or if this falls within the regulations of an EIR (Environmental Information).
You will be informed if a fee is to be applied before information is to be provided.
If you need further information please contact me.
Kind regards,
Customer Liaison Team

Dear Ms Swann
Freedom of Information request F2022-09-5835
I have looked into your request for information about the number of street works and road works carried out by both the council and third parties such as utility companies for the 2021/22 financial year., and could you please clarify the following –
What do you mean by ‘cost to the council for the applicable works carried out’. There are two differing answers which will be vastly different and require some time to calculate. Do you mean, physical cost of the works on site or the cost to the council processing applications or both.?
If I do not receive clarification from you by 11 October 2022 I will assume you no longer require the information.
If you need further information please see contact details below.
Kind regards,
