I use One.Network site (used to be called Elgin or Roadworks.org) t keep track of incidents/accidents in my local area and also, on behalf of my trucker son, main roads throughout the country. I've received an email fron One.Network to advise that due to Data Protection Rules (as assumed by Department of Transport) and something called Street Manager, I can no longer receive, as a member of the public, in-depth details of roadworks etc. One.Network states that:-

" These are pieces of information designed to supply extra detail about any given roadworks, and where they're carried out. They're more sensitive than other bits of roadworks information, which is why the Street Manager rules affect them"

So in effect, All I will be able to view is the name of the council, the name of the road and what traffic controls ( temporary traffic lights etc). i will no longer be able to see what specific section of a road or a description of the works.

For the general public, this makes One.Network as useful as a chocolate tea-pot!. How it is sensitive information under Data Protection I just dont understand. Anybody like to enlighten me.
