H‑bar (access protection) markings in the town of Horncastle

Request

This request concerns the installation of H‑bar (access protection) markings in the town of Horncastle. It does not relate to enforcement policy, complaints, patrol logs, or charges for pedestrian dropped kerbs, which I have already requested separately. Please provide the following information for all H‑bar markings installed within Horncastle during the past five years:

1. The full list of locations where H‑bar markings have been installed.

2. The date of installation for each marking.

3. Whether each marking was funded by the resident or by the council.

4. The type of access being protected, categorised as:- pedestrian dropped kerb forming part of the adopted footway * private driveway

* shared driveway

* commercial access

* other (please specify)

5. The measured length (in metres) of each H‑bar marking.

6. Any internal policy, criteria, or guidance used by the council when deciding whether to install H‑bar markings, specifically relating to:- pedestrian dropped kerbs

* private driveways

* shared driveways

* locations within Controlled Parking Zones

Please provide the information in a tabular format where possible.

Decision

1-3. Please see table below

4. Please see table below. All H-bars reported in this FOI have been applied to separate entities eg to a private access, or to a pedestrian access. We have no record of applying an H-bar marking to a combined pedestrian and driveway access.
