Dear ,

Thank you for your information request of 03 April 2020. Aberdeen City Council (ACC) has completed the necessary search for the information requested. Our response is now detailed below.

1. Copies of timetables for all Mainstream Primary and Secondary school bus services, as these are issued to pupils. (Traveline National Dataset/Traveline Scotland only contains registered bus services). Information has been provided for the following schools, on the attached documents:

Lochside Academy Hazlehead Academy St Peters RC School St Joseph’s RC School Cults Academy (4/6 routes provided) Bucksburn Academy Bucksburn/Dyce Academy Shuttle Bus

We are only able to provide timetable information for some school transport routes provided by bus and these are where pupils are collected on a pre-determined route at public bus stops, etc. For a number of school transport routes operated by bus, pupils are collected from their home address or road-end to their property and this is what would be detailed on any timetable. As such, the provision of customers home address, coupled with their school of attendance, will make individuals identifiable and has not been provided for these reasons.

In order to comply with its obligations under the terms of Regulation 13 of the EIRs, ACC hereby give notice that we are refusing this part of your request under the terms of Regulation 11(2) in conjunction with 11(3)(a)(i) – Personal Information - of the EIRs.

In making this decision ACC considered the following points:

ACC is of the opinion that Regulation 11(2) applies to the information specified above as the information in question is personal information relating to living individuals, of which the applicant is not the data subject.

ACC is of the opinion that Regulation 11(3)(a)(i) applies, as we consider that disclosure of this information would be a breach of the ‘lawfulness, fairness and transparency’ principle. These individuals have not consented to the disclosure of this information and ACC does not consider that they would expect ACC to release this information about them into the public domain under the FOISA.

2. Where these are operating as local bus services, details of the fares charged too. Lochside Academy and Hazlehead Academy operate as local bus services, although the majority of pupils utilising Lochside Academy services are provided with bus passes.

Lochside Academy: First Aberdeen commercial fares apply: https://www.firstgroup.com/aberdeen/tickets/ticket-prices

Hazlehead Academy: Single Fares: Type Stage 1 Stage 2 Adult £1.40 £2.10 Child £0.70 £1.10

Return: Child £1.50 Weekly Pass: Child £7.00 Academic Year Pass: Child £230.00

As details of the fares charged for Lochside Academy is otherwise accessible through the above link on First Group website, it is exempt from disclosure. In order to comply with our obligations under the terms of Regulation 13 of the EIRs, we hereby give notice that we are refusing your request under the terms of Regulation 6(1)(b) - Information Already Publicly Available - of the EIRs.

I don’t require details of pupils/addresses, any personal information. Neither would I require any details of Special Education Needs school contacts. The information can be sent as any electronic format – PDF, Word, Excel, InDeisgn etc. For the avoidance of doubt these should be correct at March 2020, and before the recent schools closure following the Covid-19 “pandemic”.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE HANDLING OF YOUR REQUEST

As the information which you requested is environmental information, as defined under Regulation 2(1) of the Environmental Information (Scotland) Regulations 2004 (the EIRs), we considered that it was exempt from release through FOISA, and must therefore give you notice that we are refusing your request under Section 39(2) of FOISA (Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002). However, you have a separate right to access the information which you have requested under Regulation 5 of the EIRs, under which we have handled your request. Please refer to FOISA reviews & appeals and Your Data for more information about your rights under the EIRs.

We hope this helps with your request.

Yours sincerely,

Dial: 01224 522166 www.aberdeencity.gov.uk | Twitter: @AberdeenCC | Facebook.com/AberdeenCC
