19) What was the budget for repairing potholes in 2018?

 

The Council does not hold the requested information as there is no
specific budget for repairing potholes. The costs for such repairs are
incorporated into a wider budget which includes all repairs to the highway
undertaken by the internal Direct Labour workforce, and as such it is not
possible to identify a budget for pothole repairs in isolation.

 

20) What was the budget for repairing potholes in 2019?

 

Please see response to question 19. 

 

21) What was the budget for repairing potholes in 2020?

 

Please see response to question 19. 

 

22) How much did the council spend on repairing potholes in 2018?

 

Please see response to question 19. 

 

23) How much did the council spend on repairing potholes in 2019?

 

Please see response to question 19. 

 

24) How much did the council spend on repairing potholes in 2020?

 

Please see response to question 19. 

 

25) How many hours were spent on repairing potholes in 2018?

 

This information is not recorded therefore the Council does not hold the
requested information. 

 

26) How many hours were spent on repairing potholes in 2019?

 

Please see response to question 25. 

 

27) How many hours were spent on repairing potholes in 2020?

 

Please see response to question 25. 

 

I hope this response satisfies your request. If you are dissatisfied with
the handling of the request, under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 you
have the right to request a review of the Council’s response to your
request for information.  If you wish to request a review, please write to
the below address or email [1][Bridgend County Borough Council request email] .  Following ICO
guidance, a request for a review must be made within 2 months of a
response being received.
