4) Complaints are logged under certain classification for Highways such as required repairs for roads that are in disrepair, however, we are unable to filter complaints by location.

Section 12(1) of the Freedom of Information 2000 does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit is currently £450 or 18 hours at a cost of £25 per hour.

The exemption under section 12 is not subject to the public interest test. Any refined request will be treated as a new request under the Freedom of Information Act.

5) We have no recorded collisions in the last 12 outside the requested area of Carrington View. I have looked between South Fen Road and Mill Drove.

6) No permitted works have been undertaken by any works promoter on this stretch of highway in the twelve months to 16 March 2024.

7) No S81 notices were served on any undertaker in the twelve months to 16 March 2024.
