Dear Newark and Sherwood District Council,
I would be grateful if you could supply me with answers to the
following questions.
1 How many parking tickets were issued on each street the area you
cover
on the periods
01/01/08 to 31/12/08
01/01/09 to 31/12/09
01/01/10 to 31/12/10
01/01/11 to 31/12/11
01/01/12 to 12/09/12
2 How many cars were towed away for parking offences on these
streets for the same periods.
3 The revenue generated by the council in relation to
these fines.
4 How many of these were appealed.
5 How many of the tickets were issued by private contracted
companies.
6 If possible the photos associated with these fines, with the aim
of identifying the areas the penalties occur, not the offenders
(i.e.the vehicles blacked out).
If not all data is available or not all information can be
disclosed, please answer as many points as completely as possible
Yours faithfully,
Joe Lobo
Dear Mr Lobo
Your request for information was received by us on 17/09/2012. Our initial
assessment of your request is that the information in question, if it is
held by the council, may fall within the scope of the Freedom of
Information Act 2000. A further assessment will be made once we have
located any relevant information held by the council.
Under the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act 2000, we will
respond to your request promptly, but in any case within 20 working days
following the date that we received it. This means that you will receive a
response from the Council on or before 15/10/2012.
For your information, the Act defines a number of exemptions, which may
prevent release of some or all of the information you have requested.
There will be an assessment of the information available and if any of the
exemption categories apply the information may not be released. In the
case of a qualified exemption the Public Interest Test will be considered.
You will be informed if any of the information held is subject to any
exemption and if so reason the exemption has been applied and of your
rights of appeal.
If the information you request contains reference to a third party they
may be consulted prior to a decision being taken on whether or not to
release the information to you. You will be informed if this is the case.
If you have asked for any information to be provided in a specific format
we will do our best to do so. However if it is not practicable or it is
unreasonable to do so, any information will be provided in Adobe Acrobat
pdf.
Should you require the information to be provided other than by email a
fee may be payable in respect of disbursements, you will be informed if
this is the case. In this event the fee must be paid before the
information is processed and released. The 20 working day time limit for
responses is suspended until receipt of the payment.
