Dear S Campbell

This request is due for response today not previously as you state.
Under the FOI Act the 20 working days deadline is counted starting from
the first working day after the date on which is received by the public
authority (which is at least a day later than the date sent by the
requestor).

I am copying this to my colleagues in another department to enquire on
your behalf whether their reply is ready to send out.

Please note that this is not an internal review as you have described.
That is a subsequent process that is open to you after you have received
your response.

Dear Mr/s Campbell

Freedom of Information Act 2000

I write further to your Freedom of Information Request to the London
Borough of Lambeth, received on 14 October 2009.

You have requested the following information pertaining to a bus lane
located in Clapham Park Road before the junction with Abbeville Road.
Please find the answers to your questions below:

1. How many PCNs have been issued for each of the last five years at this
location for contravention code 34J?

2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 Total
Total 286 3,679 7,605 9,293 11,106 13,370 45,339

2. How many of those issued were contested for each of the last five
years?

Please find the attached document for your perusal.

3. How many PCNs have been paid and what revenue has been received for
each of the last five years?

This is unclear; unfortunately you will need to stipulate whether you wish
figures to include part payments before a response can be provided.

4. Of those PCNs issued, how many were subsequently cancelled by Lambeth
prior to listing at tribunal for each of the last five years?

Although we were unable to provide the specific breakdown you required,
please find attached document listing all PCNs which have been cancelled.

5. How many PCNs were cancelled at formal stage where the lines and
signage have been an issue for each of the last five years?

Please see answer to question 4.

6. Of those PCNs issued, how many were listed for appeal at tribunal for
each of the last five years?

As the Parking and Traffic Appeals Service (PATAS) is independent of
London Borough of Lambeth we do not hold the information requested on
appeals. When an appeal is submitted to PATAS an independent Adjudicator
investigates the case, and as is this is the final stage of the statutory
appeals process, the final decision is binding in law.

7. Of those PCNs listed for tribunal hearing how many were not contested
by Lambeth for each of the last five years?

Please see answer to question 4.

8. How many PCNs have been cancelled due to a "NO CONTEST" at tribunal
stage for each of the last five years where the lines and signs have
been an issue?

Please see answer to question 4.

I trust the information herein has clarified your concerns.
