Dear S Downes

Request FOI/9752

Further to your request received on 15/04/2024, I confirm that the Council
has now considered your request under the Freedom of Information Act 2000.

Specifically, you have requested the following information:

1, How many Penalty Charge Notices have been issued from Automatic Number
Plate Recognition cameras since April 2019? Please provide a breakdown by
year.

Included on Attached spreadsheet, there is not an identifier in the system
to specifically filter out ANPR tickets as the contravention can either
be issued by both a live camera and ANPR camera. Therefore, we have
provided a complete list of all PCN’s issued by all cameras so as to
ensure all data requested is provided.

Further note As of the 2023/24 fiscal year all cameras operated in Croydon
in relation to parking have now been upgraded to ANPR.

2, How many officers/operators are issuing tickets via the camera system?

10 – as of 23/04/24

3, Can you please list - from highest to lowest - the number of PCNs
issued by each camera operator for the last two financial years. They can
be anonymised and ranked 1 to x if you are unable to provide the officer
IDs.

Included on Attached spreadsheet.

4, How many ANPR cameras are in operation across the borough? Please list
the locations and offences each is monitoring.

120 cameras as of 23/04/24 details Included on Attached spreadsheet.

5, Please provide the individual identifier number for each ANPR.

Included on Attached spreadsheet 
Please also be advised all currently available Penalty Charge Notice (PCN)
data is available on the council’s website at [1]Traffic
[2]Traffic Management Act (TMA) accounts | Croydon Council

The Council publishes Access to Information requests and responses on its
online Disclosure Log. (Any request included within this log will be
anonymised appropriately)
