Road verges - ecological protection scheme
Dear Sir or Madam,
If you run an ecological protection scheme for road verges in your area, please could you provide me with the following details:
a) what protection measures a verge receives when it is included in the scheme
b) the list of verges covered by the scheme (and their locations - road name/number and six figure OS grid references would be fine)
c) for each verge, the specific reasons why the verge has been included in the scheme - i.e. the notable species found there, or the NVC community present
If you do not run such a scheme in your area, but you are aware that another body does, please could you refer me to them instead.
Many thanks,
Susan Davis

Dear Ms Davis
Thank you for your request for information under the Freedom of
Information Act dated 9 March 2009, concerning roadside verges in
Northumberland. Northumberland County Council does not run an ecological
protection scheme for road verges, and I am not aware of any such scheme
being run by any other body in the county.
I hope that this information is of assistance.
Yours sincerely
David Feige
