Dear ***** *****,
FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REFERENCE FOI/6016

1. A list of any external suppliers used for:
Traffic counts

2. Total expenditure on these services, broken down by year and category if available.
The costs of undertaking traffic data surveys commissioned by the Local Transport Plans & Programme Development Team during the three financial years listed are shown below. It is not possible to provide expenditure as traffic/speed categories, as the surveys undertaken often count both, but expenditure is broken down by survey type.
3. An indication of whether these services are conducted in-house, wholly in part.
All traffic surveys commissioned by the Local Transport Plans & Programme Development Team (which has responsibility for monitoring the Nottinghamshire highway networks and developing highway programmes) during the listed financial years 2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/24 were undertaken by the County Councils highway services delivery company, Via East Midlands Ltd.
3.a If so, any information about the scale frequency of this internal work would be appreciated.
