Please provide copies of all recorded information generated since 1 November 2023 relating to the preparation of the Devon 2024 update of the BSIP.
This should include internal DCC communications, and communications with Torbay Council, the BUS Forum and external stakeholders including transport operators.
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. We estimate that there are roughly 800 emails to check for each member of the nine members of staff that are currently working on the BSIP as well as 191 other documents across the team. It would take roughly 1 minute to review and collate each email alone and 800 emails x 1 minute = 13 hours and 30 minutes, which when you multiply by the 9 members of staff = roughly 5 days worth of work and well over the 18 hours of officer time.
Under the Act, there is a duty to provide advice and assistance as to how a request can be refined to fit within the appropriate limit. Unfortunately, due to the way the data is held, this is not possible for this request.
