Little Bytham Road - Find a freedom of information request

I would like to request information under the Freedom of Information Act, relating to a road your authority is responsible for maintaining. Specifically, my query relates to the Little Bytham Road, between the crossroad linking Little Bytham Road and Station Road at Castle Bytham, and the village of Little Bytham.

Please can you send me:

1) A copy of your current road maintenance policy relating to that road.

Please send me the full policy, but this should include details of the intended frequency of road safety inspections, how these inspections should be conducted and the maximum time between identification of a defect and repairs being carried out.

2) A copy of the road repair history for that road over the past year. Again, please send me the full road repair history, but this should include: - dates of all safety inspections between the 6th January 2022 and the 7th March 2022. - details of how safety inspections were undertaken (walked or driven, speed of inspection vehicle etc) - details of all carriageway defects identified, with description, date and time - details of how the authority handled these defects, what repairs were undertaken and the time between the identification of each defect and a repair being carried out. 

1. Please see below link to the current road maintenance policy https://www.lincolnshire.gov.uk/downloads/file/1899/highways-infrastructure-assetmanagement-plan-2018

As such, this information is exempt from disclosure in accordance with the exemption set out at Section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which provides that a public authority need not comply with a request for disclosure under the Act where that information is reasonably accessible by other means.

2. Please find attached site history reports

Please be aware, some personal information has been removed. This information is exempt under section 40 (personal information) of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as the information constitutes third party data. Section 40(2) provides that personal data about third parties is exempt information if one of the conditions set out in section 40(3) is satisfied. Under the FOI Act disclosure of this information would breach the fair processing principle contained in the Data Protection Act 2018 (GDPR), where it would be unfair to that person/s confidentiality.
