I am writing to request information under the Freedom of Information Act relating to a road your authority is responsible for maintaining. Specifically, my query relates to Mill Lane in Sindlesham, between Hatch Farm & the bridge over the River Loddon heading towards Early. Please can you send me:

1. A copy of your current road maintenance policy relating to that road. Please send me the full policy, but this should include details of the intended frequency of road safety inspections, how these inspections should be conducted and the maximum time between identification of a defect and repairs being carried out. Please also confirm how often Mill Lane should be inspected as per policy.
