Can you please provide a list of all the Members of the Exeter Highways and Traffic Orders Committee together with the below information:
The membership of the Exeter Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (HATOC) can be found here Committee details – Exeter Highways and Traffic Orders Committee from the Democracy in Devon pages on our website.
In addition I would like the below information for the Devon County County CEO and her exec team:

The Chief Executive and Devon County Council ‘s (DCC’s) Senior Leadership Team are not members of the Highways and Traffic Orders Committee (HATOC) and do not have voting rights in relation to the decision making.
If they own a car
Where is their working base: an office, home, flexible or flexible requires travel
If car, if they have a work car parking space. If not full time in the office then how often
How they travel to and from their work commitments
We do no hold the information that you have requested in an accessible format in relation to car owners and their movements.
Devon County Council believes compliance with this request would exceed the appropriate cost limit under Section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 which is £450 or 18 hours of officer time. To gather this information would require that each of the 12 team members are contacted and asked to respond to these questions. To retrieve this information is estimated to take would take 120 mins per person or 24 hours and would exceed the appropriate cost limit.
In the interests of providing advice and assistance, we are able to confirm that the working base of most staff, including the Senior Leadership Team, is flexible/hybrid, with a base at County Hall but working in other offices across the County as required with occasional home working. How they travel is a matter for individuals and this will vary depending on the event and accessibility of public transport, for example.
There is no reserved parking for any staff members at County Hall. Staff parking is in a staff car park.
Do they reside in Exeter?
We consider this information is exempt under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act (Personal Data).
Devon County Council are not obliged to provide information that is the personal information of another person if releasing it would contravene any of the provisions in the Data Protection Act 2018.
In this instance we believe that the release of this information would contravene the first data protection principle and therefore Section 40(2) is applied.
