Dear Mr. Johnson,

 

FOI Request ref:  7244/Parking Ticket Machines

 

Thank you for your request for information about the above, which has been
dealt with under the terms of the Freedom of Information Act 2000. Your
request and our response are set out below. Please note that any
information we provide is subject to the copyright and reuse of
information terms and conditions set out at the bottom of this email.

 

REQUEST

 

Please could i see a list of all of your Parking Ticket Machines including
details of the location / make / model / type / machine number / serial
number / etc.

 

RESPONSE

 

Please see below breakdown of on street pay and display machines:

Eastbourne                         161 machines                    
                Alfia Vision Si

Hastings                               65

We have not provided the machine numbers or serial numbers because we have
concluded that this information could be used to compromise the machines’
operating systems, which would be contrary to the Computer Misuse Act
1990. Section 31(1)(a) FOIA provides an exemption from a public
authorities duty to provide information upon request if its disclosure
under the Act would, or would be likely to, prejudice the prevention or
detection of crime. This exemption is qualified in that we are required to
weigh the public interest in us withholding the information against the
public interest in us making it available. We are permitted up to 20
working days in which to carry out this public interest test and we will
therefore provide you with our final decision by 12/7/2016, which is the
20 working day deadline.

 

 

Yours sincerely

Dear Mr. Johnson,

 

FOI Request ref:  7244/Parking Ticket Machines

 

Further to our email of 14 June 2016, we have now carried out the public
interest test in relation to your request for information. We acknowledge
that there is a public interest in the disclosure of much of the
information held by public authorities. This serves to ensure transparency
and accountability in the use of public money and the way services are
provided. Such transparency promotes public understanding. An informed and
involved public helps to promote good decision making by public
authorities; thus helping to secure the best use of public resources.

 

However there are occasions where it is appropriate not to release
information upon request. When considering requests for information where
a qualified exemption has been applied, we have to recognise that
disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act is considered to be made
to the public at large and not just to the individual requester. We have
taken into account that the requester’s private interests are not in
themselves the same as the public interest and that what may serve those
private interests does not necessarily serve a wider public interest.
Also, that what may be of interest to the public should be distinguished
from what is in the public interest.

 

We have considered this issue and have concluded it is in the public
interest that the County Council’s finances and revenue streams are
protected from potential compromise and that the public authority is able
to maintain its services. We have also concluded that it is in the public
interest that they be protected from the effects of potential fraud. We
will not be releasing this information.

 

If you believe that the County Council has not complied with the FOI Act
in responding to your request, you may ask for an internal review. If you
wish to do so, please set out the grounds of your appeal in writing to:

 

Philip Baker, Assistant Chief Executive, East Sussex County Council,
County Hall, St Anne’s Crescent, Lewes, East Sussex. BN7 1UE.

or by email to him at [1][email address]

 

Please quote the FOI reference number in any communication regarding this
particular request.

 

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you then
have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a
decision. Generally, the Information Commissioner cannot make a decision
unless you have exhausted the County Council’s internal review procedure
as described in the previous paragraph. The Commissioner can be contacted
at: Information Commissioner's Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane,
Wilmslow, Cheshire, SK9 5AF. Tel: 0303 123 1113.  [2]www.ico.org.uk
