Date

Dear Sir

In your email that we received on 13 August 2009, you asked for the following information:

  1. Data relating to parking tickets issued by Harrogate Borough Council within the last 5 year period.

  1. Information regarding reward/bonus schemes or contracts in place relating to the Council's Civil Enforcement Officers.

  1. Information relating to the recording processes of parking information.

In response to the first item, please find attached:

Spreadsheets detailing PCNs issued between 17 July 2004 and 17 August 2009. Information relating to the transaction details for every PCN is not currently available. Should this be required, support would be needed from the Council's software supplier and will involve costs that would have to be met by you.

In response to items 2 and 3 of your request:

Harrogate Borough Council employees carry out parking enforcement, within the Council's jurisdiction. All employees are salaried and no reward or bonus schemes exist.

Penalty Charge Notices are issued using XXXX. The Council uses the Compex 3Sixty data processing package, supplied through ICES by Imperial Civil Enforcement Solutions.

We hope you are happy with our service. But if you are not satisfied with the way your request has been handled, please contact—

Freedom of Information Officer

Council Offices, Crescent Gardens, Harrogate, HG1 2SG

or email [email address]

The Council has an internal appeal system. If your complaint is about the decision which has been made you will usually be entitled to have your case reviewed by an officer from a department which has not been involved in the decision previously.

If, after their decision, you are still not happy, you may appeal to—
