Dear Ms Davis

Request for Information under the Freedom of Information Act 2000
(F/09/176)

Thank you for your email dated 13th March 2009 in which you have requested
information in respect of Ecological Protection Scheme - Road verges. We
have considered your request under the terms of the Freedom of Information
Act 2000 (FOIA).

The council does not hold the information you have requested as the
council does not operate an Ecological Protection Scheme for road verges.
However where sites of high ecological value abut the highway we manage
them to protect and enhance biodiversity; in particular we highlight
Croham Hurst SSSI and it's significant population of Pale St John's Wort
on the verge of the Upper Seldon Road.

Site details for Croham Hurst can be found at:

If you are unhappy with the way the department has handled your request
under the Freedom of Information Act, you may ask for an internal review.
You can do this by outlining the details of your complaint and either

o e-mailing us at [Croydon Borough Council request email]
o faxing us on 0208 760 5679
o writing to FOI Complaints, London Borough of Croydon, Democratic and
Legal Services, Croydon, CR9 3JS

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have
the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. The Information Commissioner can be contacted at:

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

Yours sincerely,

Angie Forson
