Review of 101003854268 Road Safety

I am writing to request an Internal Review of the Council’s response to my Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 request, reference 101003854268.

My original request (item 4) asked for:

“A summary of the economic cost of those reported road traffic collisions to Moray Council.”

The response referred me to published reports and data describing the cost to the economy and cost to the community, along with an explanation of the differences between these terms. However, my question is specifically related to the economic cost to Moray Council itself — i.e. any costs incurred directly by the Council, such as road or infrastructure repairs, legal or insurance costs, or other expenditure arising from road traffic collisions.

The response did not clarify whether the Council actually holds any information relating to these direct costs. I would therefore be grateful if, upon review, you could:

Confirm whether Moray Council holds any information on the financial or economic costs to the Council resulting from road traffic collisions; and

If such information is held, please provide it (or a summary of it); or

If the Council does not hold this information, please confirm this explicitly under Section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
