Dear Jon,

I am writing in respect of your recent enquiry for information held by the
Council, I will respond under the provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act.

You asked the following:

I have noted that in their latest list of members the BPA (British Parking
Association) lists yourselves:

[1]https://www.britishparking.co.uk/BPA-Mem...

The BPA is not a highly regarded organisation by many motorists and seen
as ineffective in regulating the private parking operators who make up the
bulk of its membership; MPs in the House of Commons have also echoed these
concerns.

Therefore, can you please provide the following information about your
membership:

1.       The date you first become a member.

2.       The reason for becoming the member.

3.       How it benefits your residents by being a member.

4.       Benefits received by being a member of the BPA.

5.       The annual costs for being a member of the BPA.

I would like to take this opportunity to apologise for the late response
to your request for information. I am sorry that South Lakeland District
Council did not respond to your information request within the statutory
20 working days. I am grateful for your patience regarding this matter and
I am sorry if this has caused any inconvenience to you.

I confirm the Council holds the information requested and can confirm the
following:

1.       Council records show that membership of the BPA was started from
at least 1995, further detail is not held

2.       The information you have requested is not held

3.       There is no information held as to whether any benefits to
residents formed part of the rationale for becoming a member of the BPA,
or continued membership

4.       The general benefits for members is already publicly available to
you by other means and I am refusing this part of your request under
Section 21 of the Act. The information is available on the BPA website at:
[2]https://www.britishparking.co.uk/Join-th.... For SLDC
participating in biennial meetings, circulating best practice and sharing
common concerns and new legislation are all valuable tools for the
authority

5.       The information you have requested is already publicly available
to you by other means and I am refusing your request under Section 21 of
the Act. The information is available on the BPA website at:
[3]https://www.britishparking.co.uk/Members...

You are free to use any information supplied for your own personal use.
However, any other type of re-use, for example, by publishing the
information or issuing copies to the public will require the permission of
the copyright owner.

If you are not satisfied with the outcome of your request, you have the
right to ask us to review our handling of your request. Any request for an
Internal Review must be made in writing within 40 days of this response.
Should you wish to request a review, please email
[4][South Lakeland District Council request email] or write to Paul Mountford, Principal
Performance and Intelligence Officer at the address below. Our Internal
Review Process is available on our [5]website.

Should you remain dissatisfied following our internal review, you can
refer the matter directly to the Information Commissioner.

Dear John

Thank you for your email. I apologise, I forgot to include a second set of links to our parking account open dataset which shows our car park revenue on our online open data directory at https://www.southlakeland.gov.uk/your-co... search for parking account or on data.gov.uk at: https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/d...

This shows the level of parking income and therefore the level of subscription we pay, as per the fees list I linked to in our response and is therefore publicly available to you under Section 21.

Alternately we publish our spend over £250 on our online open data directory at https://www.southlakeland.gov.uk/your-co... search for payments to suppliers or on data.gov.uk at: https://ckan.publishing.service.gov.uk/d...

Best wishes
