Thank you for your request for the following information:

Mike Hall as saying that the proposal is based on a study of parking in Hinckley.
What information do you have that shows the scope, results and recommendations of the study
and the objective it believes will be achieved by increasing charges."
This request has been processed under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (“FOIA”). I can
