Parish Councils carrying out Highway and Pavement maintenance.

Oxfordshire County Council did not have the information requested.

Dear Oxfordshire County Council,

I understand some Parish Councils have undertaken or funded maintenance work to highway infrastructure such as pavements and potholes. Can you please provide a list of all Parish Councils that have undertaken or funded work to the highway infrastructure such as resurfacing footpaths, kerb work and surfacing to highways in place of OCC. I do not require details where there has been an improvement for safety reasons such as speed reduction or a crossing.

It would also be very useful if you could provide a brief note of what work the Parish council did on behalf of OCC

Yours faithfully,

Mr Bowen

FOI Team, Oxfordshire County Council

Dear Mr Bowen,

Thank you for your FOI request submitted earlier today.

The Council considers that your request does not meet the requirements of section 8(1) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA). Section 8(1) provides that a request is only valid if it:

a) Is in writing,
b) States the name of the applicant and an address for correspondence, and
c) Describes the information requested.

In this case, the Council considers that you have not provided a valid name for the purposes of section 8(1). In the following circumstances, a request will not be valid:

1. No name is provided;
2. The request is signed ‘anonymous’ or similar;
3. The request is signed by a name which appears to be pseudonymous, for example ‘Mickey Mouse’;
4. Only the first name of the requestor has been provided;
5. Only the last name of the requestor has been provided; and
6. Only the first name and last initial of the requestor is provided, for example ‘John S’

With this in mind, the Council cannot accept your request until you provide a valid name which provides, at least, the initial of your first name and your full surname.

Kind regards,
