Dear New Zealand Transport Agency,

 

I would be grateful if you could provide me with information as to the
following:

 

Policies/procedures as to how the agency meets its obligations under the
NZ Litter Act 1979 to ensure roads are cleared and kept clear of litter.

 

What standards the Agency uses to determine whether a road is adequately
cleared of litter or not.

 

Where the agency has contracted out litter picking to sub-contractors, I
would like all available information as to who these contractors are
around NZ, what expectations/obligations are placed on them by the
Transport Agency and what measures the Agency has in place to ensure these
contractors are meeting their end of the contract.

 

Any information pertaining to the health and safety policies that exist
around the picking of litter on state highways.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Geoff Edwards
