Request

I would like to request the following:

1.    A list of all -cides used by the Authority. This is inclusive of, but not limited to: any and all avicides, biocides, fungicides, herbicides, insecticides, pesticides, and rodenticides.
1.    These -cides may be used on property and assets that the Authority owns or is responsible for managing. Where management of a facility is shared with another devolved body, like a District Council, please note this down — I would, here, like to prevent data duplication between public bodies.
2.    Where relevant, please include the use of the Authority’s Fire & Rescue Service.
2.    The annual cost and volume of purchase of each of these -cides, broken down by -cide, from January 2014 to December 2024. Please list this on a spreadsheet (CSV), broken down by:
1.    -Cide
2.    Product Name
3.    Volume Purchased
4.    Price Paid
5.    Purchase Date
3.    A list of each of these -cides' use, by volume. Through this I am trying to ascertain whether the purchased volume is matched by the used volume, so if there is a record of expired or unused -cides too, that would be ideal. Please add this to the above CSV as an additional column, also on an annual basis over the same time period. Please list volume in either litres or kilograms, whichever is more appropriate.
4.    Only if available and easily accessible, the location and purpose of each specific -cide’s use. For the former, this may be classified by: location grouping, address, coordinate, or otherwise.
