Decision

1. Please see attached for your response.

2. Please see attached for your response.

3. Lincolnshire County Council (LCC) do not have records of meetings where maintenance or repair policy is discussed as a specific agenda item. It is, however, taken through Highways and Transport Scrutiny Committee where all decisions on our Highways Asset Management Policy, Strategy and the Highways Infrastructure Asset Management Plan are considered.

As the minutes of these meetings are public and available already on our website, they’d fall outside of an FOI.

4. Please see attached for your response.

5. There is one recorded personal injury accident on this road within the 12 months on 24 December 2021.
