Message from Nottinghamshire County Council - 30 September 2024


Dear *****

Requested information is not held – Environmental Information Regulations Request – Ref: FOI/00004743

Thank you for your request for:

Also further to this under the freedom of information request please provide me with the number of times in December 2023 in Nottinghamshire Inspectors have categorised a pothole as a category 2 but due to reported incidents have been recategorized as category 1 before 28 days have elapsed. Please provide this information for the all inspectors in Nottinghamshire in December 2023 and specifically the Inspector in my case.

We received your request on 3 September 2024.  Your request has been considered under the Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR).

Following a search of our paper and electronic records I have established that the information you requested is not held by Nottinghamshire County Council.  This is because we do not record where a defect has increased from a Category 2 to a Category 1, these would be logged as two separate defects.

Your privacy: we use your personal information such as name and address so that we can comply with our legal obligations to respond to EIR requests.  For further details about the use of information about you, please see the information handling privacy notice on our website at https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/media/4323566/informationgovernanceandinformationrightsprivacynotice.pdf.

If you are unhappy with the way the authority has handled your request, you may ask for an internal review.  Please contact: Complaints and Information – Team Manager, Nottinghamshire County Council, County Hall, Loughborough Road, West Bridgford, NOTTINGHAM, NG2 7QP or [email protected], who will arrange an internal review of your case.

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: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, WILMSLOW, SK9 5AF or https://ico.org.uk/make-a-complaint/foi-and-eir-complaints/.
