Please provide:
1. Any traffic assessment relating to the suitability of the diversion routes on the A382.
Please see this Devon County Council (DCC) webpage for this information.
You will see that some information has been redacted. This is because this information is exempt from disclosure under Section 40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (Personal Data).
Devon County Council can confirm the requested information is held; however, 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 Principle (a) – Lawful, Fairness, and Transparency – of the UK GDPR and therefore the information is withheld
In the interests of providing advice and assistance, we can confirm that diversion routes are provided on roads of equivalent status as the road to be closed. This is typically determined by class of road. In some cases, where providing a diversion on a road of the same class results in a very long diversion, a road of a lower class but considered to be equivalent in its capacity will be used.
2. Any risk assessments regarding:
- narrow lanes
- emergency access
- congestion
- road safety.
No formal risk assessments were carried out, so DCC does not hold this information. In the interests of providing advice and assistance, please see this DCC webpage.
3. Any correspondence with emergency services concerning the diversion routes on the A382.
Please see this DCC webpage for correspondence with emergency services.
