parking ticket appeals

Information regarding appeals may be better served by contacting SOAS - Scottish Parking Appeals Service, who will hold details of all appeals, their disposition, and subsequent follow up. Currently, they offer no web presence (this is promised at an unspecified later date) however you can email them at: parkingappeals@vosa.gov.uk

That said, your original complaint does not specify any particular timeframe for the requested information, and as such may be rejected by GCC as too time-consuming to compile.

I have today recieved a letter from GCC cancelling a ticket due to my appealing to SPAS. There has been no 'new' information, they had the same facts when I responded to their original ticket (in January).

A good question to ask them is; How many PCN's did GCC cancel or abandon after the involvement of SPAS, in 2006, 2007, and 2008.

Undernote:

Further information required: the scope of your request does not identify the nature of the information you have requested, or the time period to which the enquiry relates. Therefore, a very wide search of the Council records would be required to check what information is held relating to 2008 and 2009. To assist the Council in responding to your request, it would be helpful if you would be more specific in describing the information you require.

As we did not receive your original Freedom of Information request due a problem with spam filters, can you please provide a detailed account of the information you require.
