  5. Potholes/traffic light hoods/road painting

    1. What will it cost to repaint all the white lining recently done in Peterchurch, this having been so badly that the paint is disintegrating 2. Why are traffic lights at junction of Roman Road and the right turn to Cannon Pyon "masked " with shutters on some lights and not others? Similar question re the lights in Edgar Street at right turn to Waitrose. Similar question re lights at Widemarsh Street junction (with "ring road"/Old Market). When green or amber, especially, it is sometimes difficult to see if these lights are working. 3. What are the instructions to Balfour Beatty regarding manner of repairing potholes? Is there any requirement for all repairs to be sealed (I estimate this is only done in less than 5% of repairs, whereas it is absolutely necessary in order to prevent water ingress between old and new tarmac). Unsealed repairs quickly break up between new and old tarmac, forming new potholes.

  9. Public leisure centres and swimming pools

    I am interested in collecting information on public leisure centres and swimming pools run by local councils.

    Specifically, under the FOI legislation, I request a list of all public swimming pools and leisure centres run by your council between 2005 and 2022.

    Additionally, could you please provide information on dates of opening and closure (with at least year-month precision) if they started or ceased operation over that period.

    Lastly, could you please provide information on opening and closing hours of the leisure centre/swimming pool in that given year?

    That means the final dataset would have the following columns:

    Name of the swimming pool or leisure centre, type (i.e. leisure centre or swimming pool or both)

    Address

    Date of opening

    Date of closing

    Opening hours in year 2005

    Opening hours in year 2006

    …

    Opening hours in year 2022.

    If collecting weekly opening hours is not possible, annual opening hours are sufficient, too.
