2, Where are physical records / documents stored?

At a number of locations across Devon.

2.1 How many physical records are currently being stored either by supplier or by the council.

We do not hold this information.

2.2 If out sourced with a supplier please provide start/end date and spend for 2018.

Physical records and documents are not outsourced with a supplier, therefore we do not hold this information.

2.3 If managed in-house how much does the council spend annually on physical storage of records? Including any building and staff costs.

There are no additional identified costs for storage as facilities are within existing council premises used for a variety of other purposes and the management of records are dealt with by a range of different staff with varying roles across the organisation so this cannot be specifically identified.

No, therefore we do not hold information for 3.1 or 3.2.
