Service Response:

Please could you let us know what financial information you do carry about
the operation of the car parks in Buckingham - so that we can send you a
further inquiry that will yield more insights and illumination?

We have asked Parking services and they have advised that we would need
further clarification regarding what is specially meant by 'operations' so
we can consider your request.

As advised, we do not have records of staffing/maintenance broken down in
the way requested. However we do already publish information regarding our
parking service on our website. This may be helpful to you

Dear Buckinghamshire Council,

You asked what I mean by 'operations' - by this I mean

The administration of carparking conducted by officers of the council (or those contracted by the council) that results in a functioning car park.

Not being a specialist in car parking, but I presume this includes:

- Maintenance of the parking surface, associated street furniture and upkeep of necessary equipment such as the ticket machines
- cleaning of the car park
- enforcement of the parking regulations including the administration of fines etc
- staff to record cars parked outside those regulations
- council business tax rates
- servicing of any loans taken out to fund the car parking
- collection & banking of ticketing payments (including partnership with the company allowing remote payment)
- all income & outgoings associated with the running of the car parks
-etc...

Many thanks

Atvb&ss

Jon

Yours sincerely,

Jon Harvey
