Number of penalties issued for stopping in an asl

The request was successful.

Dear West Midlands Police,

1. Who is responsible for enforcing advanced stop lines?
2. If police are responsible for enforcing advanced stop lines how many penalties/tickets/warnings have been issued by West Midlands police to motor vehicles for this offence since January 2009? If possible can this be broken down by month and location?

Yours faithfully,

James Johnston
