I can confirm that some of the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.
1. Our reactive service expenditure includes all fault types such as footways and sign replacements however the defective road surface / potholes forms a large element of this budget.
A number of gangs deliver a blend of work types and for this reason the expenditure is not split out in detail.
