  9. This is a request for information under the FOI Act 2000 and the EIRs 2004. Please release to me the following information:

    - A GIS file (ideally in Shapefile format) of all landowner deposit maps made under the provisions of the Highways Act 1980 section 31.6 to your council.

    I am requesting a GIS file of this data because it contains more information than the online register and any online mapping interface you may publish (for e.g. a GIS file gives the precise geolocations of the boundaries of the land in question): therefore, this information is not available via other means. There is a strong public interest in releasing this information as it relates to the prevention of future rights of way claims.
