Regarding your request for information under the Freedom of Information
Act 2000:

Dear Liam Mandville

I am writing in respect of your recent application for the release of
information held by the Authority:

How many prosecutions were made in the years 2006-2007 and 2007-2008

for all the bus lanes within Brighton.

Please also separate the figures for; 1.London Road/York

Road/Gloucester Place (Location is at N50:49:38 W0:08:08) 2.Oxford

Street (Location is at N50:49:51 W0:08:06) 3.Dyke Road (Location is

at N50:49:27 W0:08:40) 4. North Street (Location is at N50:49:19 W0:08:20)

We do not prosecute people for being in a bus lane as it has been
decriminalised and a Penalty Charge Notice is issued instead. We also do
not collate information for the number of Penalty Charge Notices issue by
camera location.

Bus lane enforcement started in 2007 and in that year 1,498 PCNs were
issued. So far in 2008 we have issued nearly 3,000 PCNs

If you are not satisfied how your request has been handled, you can
appeal. Please write to:
