Please can you advise how many times (if any) Devon County Council has been contacted, in each of the past six years (2018, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 2023), with a report of mud on the highway on Trood Lane or the A379 between the Devon Hotel roundabout and Chudleigh Road.
A search of our Highways system using search terms “mud”, “Trood Lane, Matford” and “Road from Devon Hotel to A30 Bridge” has generated the information in the following spreadsheet:
Reports of Mud on Highway (Trood Lane and/or the A379)
Some information has been redacted. This is because 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.
