Dear Ms Mullen

I refer again to your e-mail dated 29 May 2018 seeking information in relation to Palacecraig Street, Coatbridge.

Having regard to the nature of your request, it appears to me that it is governed by the provisions of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 – rather than the Freedom of Information legislation – and it is in terms of these Regulations that my response is made.

Returning to your request and having investigated, my response to your questions is as follows:-

(c) Two persons.

(5) I can advise that, other than your incident, no records of accident are held during the specified timeframe and in terms of Regulation 10(4)(a) of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004, I must advise you of this.

(6) This information is available in a Committee report submitted to the Planning and Environment Committee on 19 November 2003. The report can be viewed on the Council’s website at:-www.northlanarkshire.gov.uk under the MARS (Minutes, Agendas and Report System). For ease of reference the link to the relevant report is:-

(7) Identified in March 2018 for carriageway resurfacing during financial year 2018/2019.

(8) Ten complaints.

I can advise that North Lanarkshire Council, having regard to the provisions of Regulation 16 of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004, has established a procedure whereby any person who has requested information in terms of those Regulations, may make representations if it appears to the applicant that the authority has not complied with any requirements of the Regulations in relation to the applicant’s request. Any such representations require to be made in writing and received by the Council not later than 40 working days after either the date that the applicant receives any decision or notification which the applicant believes does not comply with these Regulations or the date by which such a decision or notification should have been made, or any other action should be taken by the authority, but was not made or taken. Any such representations should be addressed to the Head of Business for Legal and Democratic Solutions, Civic Centre, Windmillhill Street, Motherwell, ML1 1AB. Accordingly, if you wish to seek a review, please write to the Head of Business for Legal and Democratic Solutions.

I would advise, also, that in terms of Regulation 17 of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004, a person who is dissatisfied with a notice given by the local authority under Regulation 16(4) of the Regulations - ie. a notice following a review of a decision by a local authority, or by the failure of a local authority to give such a notice - may make application to the Scottish Information Commissioner for a decision as to whether, in any respect specified in that application, the request for information to which the requirement relates has been dealt with in accordance with the Regulations. Such an application must be made within six months of the review decision and be in writing or in another form which, by reason of it having some permanency is capable of being used for subsequent reference. The application must state the name of the applicant and provide an address for correspondence. The application must also specify the request for information to which the requirement for review relates, the matter which gave rise to the applicant’s dissatisfaction with the original decision of the local authority and the matter which gives rise to the applicant’s dissatisfaction with the decision on review by the local authority or the failure of the local authority to issue such a decision. The Scottish Information Commissioner can be contacted as follows:-

Scottish Information Commissioner
Kinburn Castle
Doubledykes Road
St. Andrews
KY16 9DS
email: [email address]

Appeals to the Scottish Information Commissioner can also be made online via the following link: -

Yours sincerely
