Dear Mr Turner,

Thank you for your request for information, received on 14.05.2010.

If you wish to challenge a PCN, you must follow the established process. If you think that the PCN should not have been issued or that there are special reasons why it should be cancelled, you must write to challenge the PCN within 14 days of it being issued. If your challenge is not successful, we will issue a Notice to Owner. You can then make a formal representation to the Council. The information contained in our records is not usually relevant to or necessary for making a challenge or formal representation.

If we do not accept your representation, you can then appeal to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service. If you appeal to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service, we will provide copies of all the evidence.

More details of the process for challenging a PCN can be found on our website: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/environment_and_transport/parking/parking_tickets/on_street_parking.htm.

If the PCN has been issued for a bus lane contravention, you can arrange to come in and view the images at our offices, details can be found on our website: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/environment_and_transport/parking/parking_tickets/appeals_bus_lane.htm. We will not provide a copy of the images unless the appeal is taken to the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service.

Information about access to CCTV images can be found here: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/contact/data_protection_act_1998/cctv_dpa_foi.htm.

Please note the following:

· We can take no action regarding your request until we have all the information and supporting documents that we need from you.

· We need the precise location and time of the incident.

· It helps if you can tell us which CCTV camera was nearby and may have captured footage of the incident. Details of the location of our traffic enforcement cameras can be found here: http://www.haringey.gov.uk/index/environment_and_transport/parking/cctv_enforcement/cctv_locations.htm

· If you are making the request on behalf of another person we need their signed authorisation.

· There is a £10 fee. The £10 fee goes some way towards the costs of administering these requests and is payable whether or not we are able to locate images of the incident.

The Information Commissioner’s Office says that information about penalty charge notices (PCNs) is personal information about the person to whom the PCN was issued. Because of that, requests for access to this information must be dealt with under the subject access provisions of the Data Protection Act and not under the Freedom of Information Act.

If you wish to proceed with your request to access the records that we hold in relation to a PCN issued against you, please complete the attached subject access request form and provide the PCN number, the proof of identification and the £10 fee. Once we have received all the information needed to deal with your request, we will respond within 40 working days.

We have not dealt with your enquiry as a formal Freedom of Information Act request at this stage. Please advise how you would like to proceed.

Regards,

Sirkku Pietikäinen

     Adamou v Haringey (PATAS Case No. 2060381000)" page 33.

     I wish to know :

     1) How many PCN's have been sent out since this judgement by PATAS

     with the inadequate description of offences allegely committed in

     Green Lanes.

     2) I reqeast a copy or the video evidense showing the alleged
