1. To list the details of every Stopping Up Order we would have to manually search through our records to identify which are Stopping Up Orders rather than other types of permanent or temporary road traffic orders. We estimated that we hold approximately 1100 Orders, that it would take around 3 minutes per document over the process at my hourly rate of £59. This would cost the Council in excess of £600. In accordance with section 12 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002, excessive cost, we are therefore unable to comply with your request.

2. No information held. Information that is not held falls under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 - Information not held.

3.
