LEP Name County FOI The request(s) Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership Oxfordshire Transport related I would like to request information on the status of and on the appraisal of local transport schemes that are funded (or partly funded) by the Oxfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership. I am making this request to as it is given as the 'accountable body' for the LEP and the LEP Assurance Framework published in December 2014 (https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/local-enterprise-partnership-lep-national-assuranceframework) states that the accountable bodies are to be responsible for ensuring that Freedom of Information and EIR requests are dealt with for each LEP in line with relevant legislation. For the purposes of this request, I would define a 'transport scheme' as a project that involves the provision of public or private transport infrastructure or services, including freight and passenger transport, or including the remodelling of streets or pavements for walking/cycling purposes and the provision of vehicles and facilities for vehicles of any kind. I would like your response to include schemes that have a significant transport component even if they are not primarily for transport (e.g. one that was for a development site and an external link road should be included even if most of the funding was for the development). 1
