Potholes and road defects

Elmbridge Borough Council did not have the information requested.

Good afternoon,

I would like to request the following information under the Freedom of Information act:

1. The total number of potholes and/or road defects reported in your local area, broken down by month for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 to date.
2. The total number of potholes and/or road defects fixed by the council, broken down by month for the years 2019, 2020 and 2021 to date.
3. The amount of money spent by the council on fixing potholes and/or road defects broken down by year, for 2019, 2020 and 2021 (calendar years if possible, please).
4. The total amount of money paid out in compensation due to potholes and/or road defects, broken down by year for 2019, 2020, 2021 (calendar years if possible, please).
5. And if possible, please can you give an indication of the amount of time taken to fix a single pothole (from starting work on the fix to the road being open again)?

If limited by time, please prioritise in order of Q1, Q2, Q3, etc.

If possible, please provide data in an Excel format.

Any queries, please let me know.

Best wishes,
Chloe

Dear Chloe Ostrolenk

 

Thank you for your request under the 2000 Act made on 31 August 2021
concerning potholes and road defects.

 

Please be advised that the information you are requesting is not held at
Elmbridge Borough Council.  Surrey County Council may hold the information
you are seeking.

 

If you have not already done so, you may wish to submit your request
directly to Surrey County Council at the following address:

In the alternative, you also have the option to submit your request using
the Freedom of Information Form available online on the Surrey County
Council website or email your request to the Freedom of Information
Officer at [2][email address]

 

The Council operates a presumption of openness in its access to
information.  It provides much information outside the provisions of the
Freedom of Information Act and it will continue to do on a “business as
usual” basis. Persons do not need to engage the statutory provisions to
access all reasonable information about the Council and its services.

 

If, for whatever reason, you are unhappy with our response, you have the
right to ask for an internal review.  Internal review requests should be
submitted within two months of the date of receipt of the response to your
original letter and should be addressed to the Law Practice Manager,
Elmbridge Borough Council, Civic Centre, High Street, Esher, Surrey KT10
9SD. 

 

Should you then remain dissatisfied at the outcome of that process, you
are entitled to appeal against the decision by contacting:

The Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. 

Telephone:  0303 123 1113 or 01625 545 745

There is no charge for making an appeal

 

Yours sincerely
