Highways Agency
(asked on 3rd September 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many times the Highways Agency has been subject to legal challenge by a local authority in each of the last 10 years.
This question was answered on 8th September 2014
The only figures available are the total number of legal challenges by any organisation or person against the Highways Agency in each of the last 10 years. These are in the table below. The figures include any challenges by local authorities but we do not hold a breakdown of these figures. The research to establish a breakdown of these figures could only be undertaken at disproportionate costs.
