This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act relating to the culvert (asset number #450318971) under the highway adjacent to Southdown Cottage, Burlescombe, Tiverton, Ex16 7LA.
1. Please provide me with Devon County Council’s policy relating to inspection and maintenance of culverts in its ownership and for which it is responsible.
Devon County Council does not have a policy for inspection and maintenance of small culverts that are not recorded as a Highway Structure. Works are commissioned on a reactive basis when required.
2. Please also provide inspection and maintenance records for this particular culvert for the previous 10 years.
There is no record on our highway drainage system of formal inspections or maintenance.
Informal inspections were undertaken by the local Highway Officer as detailed at the following link Informal Inspections.
Information that has been greyed out is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Personal Data).
The Council cannot disclose personal information if releasing it would contravene any of the provisions in the UK General Data Protection Regulation. In this instance release of this information would contravene the first data protection principle and therefore the information is withheld.
