I am writing 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 Queen's Road, Sunninghill, Ascot. On public highway, adjacent to the entrance of Fastlane Paint & Bodyshop.
Please can you send me:
1. 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. 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 03-11/2022 and 02/01/2023,
Details of how safety inspections were undertaken;
Walked or driven?
Speed of the inspection?
Type of vehicle used?
Was there just one driver? or a driver and an inspector?
Did the road have a history of problems? If so, were inspections done more frequently?
If the pothole had already been reported, what action was taken?
How did the authority define the risk created by the pothole? How was it categorised?
If it was known about, how long did it take to fix the pothole?
If repairs were made, did it fix the pothole so that it was no longer a hazard?
If no repairs were made, how long had the authority known about it before I hit it?
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.
