Cycling on a Footway data
Dear Cambridgeshire Constabulary,
On the 11th October 2013 a local newspaper published a table of Cambridge streets where fines were issued for cycling on the footway.
Please could you provide the source data in the most detailed form possible within an acceptable amount of time to complete the Freedom of Information Request.
If you are able to provide data for other tickets issued, please supply that too.
A suitable data format such as CSV would be preferable to a PDF.
Yours faithfully,
Philip Shore.

With regard to your request for us 'to provide data for other tickets
issued', can you advise what you mean by 'other tickets issued'.
Are you asking for data - on fixed penalty notices issued to all cyclists

- or data on any other fixed penalty
ticket issued to a cyclist at the same time as when a fixed penalty ticket
was issued
for cycling on a pavement,
- or something different.
After receiving your reply, your request will then be considered and you
