Dear ###

We write further to your request which was received on 24 June 2021 and which states:

"Can you please provide the number of vehicle collisions along Braid Road, St Marks from 2010 to date. (That is from St Marks to Braid Road roundabout) Can you please provide where each collision occurred on this stretch of road."

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold or cannot, after taking reasonable steps to do so, find some of the information that you have requested. This is because the earliest collision data available is from January 2015. From that data, there have been 13 personal injury collisions along the Braaid Road from its junction with St Marks Road and the roundabout with Cooil Road / Foxdale Road. The locations of these collisions are found in Appendix 1 (2015 to 2018) and Appendix 2 (2019 onwards).

Please quote the reference number 1870057 in any future communications.
