Dear Mr Chandler

Freedom of Information Act 2000

I write further to your Freedom of Information Request to the London Borough of Lambeth, received on 14 January 2010.

You have requested the following information pertaining to Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued in Lambeth. Please find the answers to your questions below relating to the period 01 January 2009 to 31 January 2009:

Payments received (inclusive of part payments) for moving traffic contraventions is £1,490,386.86.

Please note that CCTV Smart Cars enforce the majority of moving traffic contraventions. However there are some static cameras located within Controlled Parking Zones (CPZs) with the purpose of enforcing contraventions such as entering a box junction.

A PCN is issued to an appellant following confirmation of vehicle ownership details with the DVLA. If no payment or formal representation is received the PCN escalates to Charge Certificate stage.

Payments received (inclusive of part payments) for parking contraventions is £7,539,094.90.

Please note that this figure reflects revenue received from PCNs issued on-street by patrolling Civil Enforcement Officers (CEOs) throughout the borough, both inside and outside of CPZs.

The total number of moving traffic PCNs issued is 32,212, of those 3,776 were cancelled.

The total number parking contravention PCNs issued by CEOs is 159,968, of those 32,688 were cancelled.

The total number of postal PCNs issued is 59,885, of those 4,946 were cancelled.

Please note this figure incorporates parking enforcement of bus lanes and all other contraventions enforced by CCTV in the borough, which do not come under the remit of moving traffic.

The payments received (inclusive of part payments) for bus lane and other CCTV contraventions is £2,648,108.03. Unfortunately we do not have the resources to provide individual figures for each CCTV camera in the borough.

I trust the information herein has clarified your concerns.

Should you have a complaint about the way your request for information under the Freedom of Information Act has been dealt with, please contact the Corporate Complaints Unit, Lambeth Town Hall, SW2 1RW or e-mail xxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxx.xxx.xx
