Complaints regarding parking in Newark

We're waiting for Denise Sykes to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Nottinghamshire County Council,

Under the freedom of information please provide the following information.

1. The number of complaints received prior to May 2013 stating that blue badge holders were finding parking in Newark Town Centre difficult because spaces were always occupied.
2. Since May 2013 how many complaints have been received regarding blue bags holders being limited to 3 hours parking in a designated bay. When able bodied people parking in a normal bay can park all day.
3. From previous FOIs to Newark and Sherwood Council it is obvious that they have a policy limiting blue badge holders backing in a disabled bay to three hours parking even when able bodied people parking in a normal bay can park all day and do not have any designated disable parking where blue badge holders can park for longer than three hours. Please confirm whether this policy is solely limited to Newark and Sherwood District Council or if this policy is enforced throughout Nottinghamshire.

Yours faithfully,

D Sykes

FOI, Nottinghamshire County Council

Dear Alison Fletcher1,

Thank you for your response.

I did originally make my request regarding complaints to Newark and Sherwood District Council. Their response was that Nottinghamshire County Council deal with complaints. I understand that you do not hold the information. However confused to who actually deals with complaints. As both you and Newark and Sherwood. Have told me to contact the other.

Yours sincerely,

Denise Sykes

Alison Fletcher1, Nottinghamshire County Council

Hi Denise,

Having checked with both official complaints and Highways complaints it appears we do not hold any records, so one can only assume that none have been made officially?

I am sorry not to be of any further help.

Kind Regards

Alison Fletcher
