DfI/2019-0353: EIR Request for information relating to potholes including the annual spend since January 2017

I am writing to you under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to request the following information.

1) Please can you tell me how many individual potholes you have identified or had reported to you since January 2017? Please break down the figures in an Excel file that lists results by each half year.

2) Please can you also provide me with your annual spend on pothole repairs since January 2017? Please break down the figures in an Excel file that lists results by each half year.

If it is not possible to provide the information requested due to the information exceeding the cost of compliance limits identified in Section 12, please provide advice and assistance, under the Section 16 obligations of the Act, as to how I can refine my request.

If you can identify any ways that my request could be refined I would be grateful for any further advice and assistance.
