Parking Ticket Data

Neil made this Freedom of Information request to Allerdale District Council

Dear Sir or Madam,

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 I would like to request
some information relating to the enforcement of parking
restrictions, specifically penalty charge notices.

1. I would like to request the raw data set of parking tickets
issued in the name of the council within the last five year period
broken down by:
date, time, location, narrative of infraction, current status of
case, next status of case, transaction details (ie. date, time and
method of payments made), officer ID

2. I would also like to request any information to ‘reward’/bonus
schemes/contracts in place for your parking enforcement officers.
This is envisaged to cover the details of any systems, including
(where bonuses are paid) the amount per officer per year, for the
last five years.

Regarding part 1. ideally I would like the location unit to be
'street' but if this is not practical then under your section 16
duty to advise and assist I would expect you to contact me to
discuss how you record this geospatial data so that I may narrow my
request in a way that works for both of us.

As a supplementary, under section 16, I would also ask that you
provide some detail about the recording processes of this parking
information. E.g. What software is used? What data fields are
recorded? What other data sets it links to, etc.

If this information is held by an outside contractor then it is
your responsibility under the FOIA to obtain that information.

If it is held by another public body then please can you inform me
of this and if possible transfer the request to that public body.
My preferred format to receive this information is by electronic
means. For both parts I would like the response to be in the form
of a raw text file, tab delimited, with text qualifiers where
required.

If you need any clarification of this request or if it is too broad
in any way please feel free to email me. If some parts of this
request
are more difficult to answer than others please release the
answerable material as it is available rather than hold up the
entire request for the contested data.

If FOI requests of a similar nature have already been asked could
you please include your responses to those requests. I would be
grateful if you could confirm in writing that you have received
this request, and I look forward to hearing from you within the
20-working day statutory time period.

Yours faithfully,

Neil Houston

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing with regard to a Freedom of Information request you may have
made to the Council recently. I understand this was made through the What
Do They Know? website.

Today we received an enquiry from an individual asking when the
information they had requested was to be sent to them. However, we had not
received the request as it appears to have been caught in a spam guard
somewhere. When I investigated with our IT department, the email log
showed that you too had made a request but this had also not made it to an
inbox. Moreover, the log merely showed the email address (no names or
other contact details), and the subject line. It contained no details of
the content of the email. These details have since been deleted by our
systems.

Therefore may I ask you to send your request again. You may like to send
it direct to [1][Allerdale District Council request email] . I will acknowledge requests
within 1 or 2 days. Therefore for future reference if you do not receive
an acknowledgement within this time then do not hesitate to contact me on
the telephone number shown below.

Yours
Andrew Gilbert
