Motorist claims & outcomes of vehicle damage sustained from A725 potholes: EIR release - gov.scot
FOI reference: FOI/202000018645
Date received: 2 Mar 2020
Claims submitted for road defects along the A725 to maintainers Scotland Transerv, particularly from the Wraith interchange join, along with their outcome."
Further clarification confirmed that you were "looking for claims and their outcomes made by motorists for vehicle damage caused by potholes across roads maintained by Scotland Transerv. An ideal range would be from the opening of the Raith Interchange in February 2017 until now. Similarly, could I extend this request to include all pothole reports on the A725, along with their time to repair, across the same date range?"
In relation to claims as a result of potholes, we do not have the information you have requested.
Therefore we are refusing your request under the exception at regulation 10(4)(a) of the EIRs. The reason why that exception applies is that our Operating Companies and DBFO Consessionaries indemnify Scottish Ministers in relation to claims, therefore we have no involvement in this process and do not hold the information requested.
Scottish Roads Partnership (SRP), on behalf of Transport Scotland, is responsible for the A725 trunk road between the junction with Kirkshaws Road/Hagmill Road near Coatbridge in the North and to a point north of the River Clyde overbridge, near Raith junction in the South. The information requested in relation to pothole reports for SRPs section of the A725 is provided within Annex A to this response.
Scotland Transerv is responsible for the rest of the A725 trunk road and the details of pothole reports for their area can be found within Annex B, parts 1 and 2, to this response.
Due to file size Annex B part 2 has been split into 3 documents, namely Annex B Part 2 (i), (ii) & (iii).
