The following is a list of Freedom of Information requests responded to by the Highways Agency in December 2006.

To preserve the integrity of the original documents all files have been provided as Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files, and consequently have not been formatted for accessibility. Some responses to the FOI requests consist of a large number of documents that are not held in an electronic format. Where practical we have scanned the documents concerned and made them available online. However, in certain cases the volume of files involved has made this impractical and we have provided the requested information in a hard copy format only.
