Parking Ticket Data

Dear Mr Houston,

Further to your Freedom of Information request, received by Braintree
District Council, I write to advise that the Council holds the following
information in respect of your request. For ease of reference your
request is repeated below followed by the Council's reply.

"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."

With regard to your request the Council holds no information in respect of
your request. On 1st April 2009, the Council's Parking and Enforcement
Service was transferred to Colchester Borough Council following the
creation of the Parking Partnership. The Parking Partnership operated by
Colchester Borough Council operate parking and enforcement services on
behalf of Braintree District Council. Further information on the Parking
Partnership can be obtained from the Council's website
[1]http://www.braintree.gov.uk/Braintree/tr... and from
Colchester Borough Council's Website
[2]http://www.colchester.gov.uk/Info_page_t...

As part of the transfer of services, the Council's records on parking
tickets was also transferred and therefore the Council does not hold this
information. To assist you with your request, contact has been made with
the Parking Partnership to establish this information for you, however I
have been advised that there will be delay in obtaining the information.
It is anticipated that the information will be available by 4th September
and I will contact you again in due course.

"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."

The Council holds no information in respect of this request as the Council
did operate "reward/bonus schemes/contracts" for parking enforcement
officers

If you disagree with the Council's decision in respect of your freedom of
information request or are otherwise unhappy with how the Council has
dealt with your request in the first instance you may approach Sharon
Lowe, Head of Law & Governance in writing at the following address:-

Braintree District Council, Law & Governance, Causeway House, Bocking End,
Braintree, Essex, CM7 9HB
Should you remain dissatisfied with the outcome you have a right of appeal
under S50 of the Freedom of Information Act to appeal against the decision
by contacting the Information Commissioner, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow SK9 5AF, [3][email address].

Yours sincerely,

Two prizes of £100 - take part by Monday 23^rd November to enter the
prize draw

Dear Sir or Madam

I would like to invite you to take part in a special web questionnaire
about services where we are considering saving money. Click on this link
to open the survey [1]www.sharesim.arachsys.com/login/braintree.jsp

Balancing the council's budget is a tricky job. There is always a tough
trade-off between the standards we would like and the money available to
pay for them.

As you will know the next few years will see even less money available to
public services and so this exercise is really important to make sure we
know what's important to residents of the Braintree district.

This survey puts YOU in the driving seat. We have set out different
standards of some of the services we provide and we want you to choose
where you would prefer us to allocate the money.

We have kept things as simple as we can, but it is still a fairly complex
task involving options of 17 services so we suggest you only go to the
site to start this questionnaire when you have about 30 minutes available
to complete it.

We hope you enjoy completing this realistic, interesting and challenging
exercise and we would like to thank you in advance for taking the time to
take part.

Everyone who takes part in the exercise by Monday 23^rd November will be
entered into our prize draw to win one of two £100 cash prizes.

Thank you

Cllr. Graham Butland

Leader of Braintree District Council
