Please provide the following full Automated Traffic Counts (ATC) for Hill Barton Road, in both directions, from January 2023 until February 2024 – recording all days and hours on a spreadsheet in relation to the Active Streets trial in Heavitree.
Devon County Council can confirm that we hold data relating to the Automated Traffic Counts (ATC) for Hill Barton Road, in both directions, from January 2023 until February 2024. Unfortunately, we are unable to supply the data requested at the present time, as we consider that disclosing this may unfairly bias the outcomes of the Statutory Consultation relating to the Heavitree and Whipton Active Streets Trial. As such, it is reasonable, and in the public’s interest, to exempt it from disclosure under Section 22 Freedom of Information Act 2000 (information held with a view to its future publication).
However, as per the spreadsheet available under ‘Measures of Success’ at devon.cc/exeterstreets, the 2-way average 12-hour total vehicular count recorded on Hill Barton Road between 07/08/2023 and 30/11/2023 was 16,698 and on 28/09/2023, it was 17,177.
We also intend to publish a fuller breakdown of data before the end of June, following the conclusion of the Statutory Consultation in May. This will be available to view at http://devon.cc/exeterstreets.
