Dear Mr Hallett

FOI Request ref: 5304 / Uckfield High Street Parking

Thank you for your request for information about the above. Your request
was received on 10/3/2015 and I am dealing with it under the terms of the
Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA).

The FOIA provides public access to information held by public authorities,

It does this in two ways:

o Public authorities are obliged to publish certain information about
their activities; and
o Members of the public are entitled to request information from public
authorities.

The Act covers any recorded information that is held by a public authority
in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and by UK-wide public authorities
based in Scotland. Recorded information includes printed documents,
computer files, letters, emails, photographs, and sound or video
recordings.

Your request does not appear to be a request for recorded information and
is therefore not currently a valid request under the terms of the FOIA. We
are keen to assist you but can only respond to requests for recorded
information. Would you please therefore clarify what recorded information
you would like us to provide.

Please quote the above reference number in any communication regarding
this request.

Yours sincerely

Amilia Holland

Dear Mr Hallett

FOI Request ref:  5452 / Uckfield High Street changes

Thank you for your request for information about the above, which has been
dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your
request and our response are set out below. Please note that any
information we provide is subject to the copyright and reuse of
information terms and conditions set out at the bottom of this email.

REQUEST

Please can you promptly, in fact urgently supply information as laid down
in law about the expected traffic flows to show why/what changes are
expected in Uckfield. If a reply didn't reach you about your belief that
this data isn't recorded, I would point you in the direction of minutes of
committee/staff/councillor meetings about the High Street changes being
proposed which are surely recorded & the data presented about traffic
flows.

RESPONSE

Traffic congestion in peak periods would increase by around 23 per cent by
2027 and vehicle queue lengths would increase by 360 per cent. The figures
are based on traffic count data, and projections related to development
scenarios and national traffic growth figures supplied by Department for
Transport. Using such growth figures is usual practice in traffic
modelling and transport planning. The figures published in Uckfield
Matters and on our website are correct. Please see below for website.

I hope that this answers your enquiry. If you believe that the County
Council has not complied with the FOI Act in responding to your request,
you may ask for an internal review. If you wish to do so, please set out
the grounds of your appeal in writing to:

Philip Baker, Assistant Chief Executive, East Sussex County Council,
County Hall, St Anne’s Crescent, Lewes, East Sussex. BN7 1UE.

or by email to him at [2][email address]

Please quote the FOI reference number in any communication regarding this
particular request.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you then
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision
unless you have exhausted the County Council’s internal review procedure
as described in the previous paragraph. The Commissioner can be contacted
at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Tel: 0303 123 1113.  [3]www.ico.org.uk
