Parking Charge Notices
Dear North Lanarkshire Council,
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information:
The number of parking charge notices (PCNs) issued by your authority over the last two years. Specifically, I am requesting the following information:
1 - The total number of penalty charge notices (PCNs) issued.
2 - The total revenue generated from these PCNs.
3 - A breakdown of the locations where each fine was issued.
For clarity, I would appreciate it if the breakdown could include:
The street name or specific location.
The number of PCNs issued at each location.
The revenue generated from each location.
Please provide this data separately for each year so that a year-on-year comparison can be made.
I request that this data be provided in Excel format.
If you have any questions about this request, I will be more than happy to clarify.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to your response.
Yours faithfully,
Owen Marshall

Dear Mr Marshall
Request for Information
I refer again to your e-mail of 13 August 2024 seeking information under
the Freedom of Information legislation.
Having investigated, please find attached a table which sets out
information on Penalty Charge Notices. I regret to advise you that there
is no central data set that records the information on income generated by
each location and to manually compile this information from individual
penalty charge notices would be highly labour intensive. Accordingly, I
must advise that the cost of providing this information would exceed the
amount prescribed for the purposes of Section 12 of the Freedom of
Information (Scotland) Act 2002.
I can advise that North Lanarkshire Council, having regard to the
provisions of Section 21 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act
2002, has established a procedure whereby any person who has requested
information and is in any way dissatisfied with the decision on that
request, can within forty working days require a review of that decision
by writing to the Chief Officer (Legal and Democratic), Civic Centre,
Windmillhill Street, Motherwell ML1 1AB. Accordingly, if you are
dissatisfied with this decision and seek such review please write to the
Chief Officer (Legal and Democratic).
I would advise, also, that in terms of Section 47 of the Act a person who
is dissatisfied with a notice given by the local authority under Section
21 of the Act - ie. a notice following a review of a decision by a local
authority, or by the failure of a local authority to give such a notice -
may make application to the Scottish Information Commissioner for a
decision as to whether, in any respect specified in that application, the
request for information to which the requirement relates has been dealt
with in accordance with the Act. Such an application must be made within
six months of the review decision and be in writing or in another form
which, by reason of it having some permanency is capable of being used for
subsequent reference. The application must state the name of the applicant
and provide an address for correspondence. The application must also
specify the request for information to which the requirement for review
relates, the matter which gave rise to the applicant’s dissatisfaction
with the original decision of the local authority and the matter which
gives rise to the applicant’s dissatisfaction with the decision on review
by the local authority or the failure of the local authority to issue such
a decision. The Scottish Information Commissioner can be contacted as
follows:-
Scottish Information Commissioner
Kinburn Castle
Doubledykes Road
St. Andrews
KY16 9DS
email: [1][email address]
Appeals to the Scottish Information Commissioner can also be made online
via the following link: -

I hope this information is sufficient for your purpose. If, however, you
require further information – or I can assist in any other way – please
let me know.
Yours sincerely
Angelene Kirkpatrick
