FOI: Blue Badge Offences and Reports by Year

The request was successful.

Robin Langfield Newnham

Dear Sir or Madam,

I would like to make a Freedom of Information Act request for information pertaining to Blue Badges held and used within your council area as well as offences relating to them.

Specifically I am seeking the following information:

Number of fake blue badge offences recorded (by year if available)
Number of blue badge misuse offences recorded (i.e. use by individuals other than those to whom the badge was assigned; by year if available)
Number of parking offences where a blue badge was required but not possessed (by year if available)
Financial or quantitative data on fines issued in relation to blue badge offences (by year if available)
Number of reported blue badge misuses (by year if available)
Any additional data relating to blue badge misuse or offences.

I would be grateful for these to be listed in an Excel or csv format.

Please could you confirm receipt of this request, and if possible, provide an approximate timeframe for it.

Yours faithfully,

Robin Langfield Newnham

Dear Access to Information Team,

Thank you for your response.

If years are held within an accessible data structure that would allow for transmission of all data available, all years would be preferable. Failing that, we would like the largest amount of data reasonable starting from the most recent (2021/2022 or equivalent) and working backwards.

Please let me know if you require further information.

Yours sincerely,

Robin Langfield Newnham
