Parking Ticket Appeals and Tribunals

The request was successful.

Dear Sheffield City Council,

Please advise the number of parking tickets issued in each of the last three financial years and the amount of revenue raised?

For each of these years please advise how many informal appeals were received and how many were refused?

How many of the informal appeals which were rejected were followed by a formal appeal and how many of these formal appeals were also rejected?

Of the formal appeals rejected, how many of these were taken to the Government's independent tribunal and in how many cases did the Council fail to have the fine upheld?

Many thanks
Yours faithfully,

Malcolm Snook
