Dear Mr Jennings

Information Request: FOI-16-107

I refer to your information request received in our office on 18 June 2015.

I have reviewed your request and investigated whether there is any information disclosable to you. Please find below the information the council holds, and which I am pleased to provide to you.

…… I wondered whether you can help me please, would you be able to provide the Name , Phone Number , Email address for the Fleet Engineer at your Council AND / OR the Workshop Manager , these will be the people responsible for the maintenance of Council Vehicles such as Minibuses,Vans,Trucks etc. .

Eastbourne Borough Council does not have a Fleet Engineer, nor do we have a Workshop Manager. We do not have a fleet of vehicles as such; we lease a few small vans and a Mayoral car (no minibuses or trucks).

I understand that some work is subcontracted out in which case please you can supply the name of the Company you subcontract the work to and a contact name.

As mentioned above we do not have a fleet of vehicles; the companies we lease from are responsible for their maintenance.

One final question, do you have a department that is responsible for Passenger Transport in the Community and if so can you also supply the name of this gentleman or lady and a contact number or email address.

No. We are not the responsible authority for transport in the community; however, East Sussex County Council may hold some information regarding this. Their Freedom of Information Officer can be contacted at the address below:

·  You can clarify the terms of your original request to allow this to be looked at again (if you expand your request this will be dealt with as a new request)

·  All applicants have a 'right of appeal'. An appeal should be focused on the original request and should identify how the council’s response failed to answer your information request.
