Please can you provide me with the raw dataset of individual penalty charge notices (PCNs) issued in the name of the council or within the council area for the most recent 36 month period available.
Please include Off Street, On Street, Bus Lane and Moving Traffic data, plus any other types of penalty charges related to driving, stopping or parking within your area.
I would like details of each individual Penalty issued, but I do not want any personally identifying information.
In that dataset I would like fields that allow me to identify:
1. Location: –
Yes
a. Street or Road –
Yes
b. Junction with Street or Road (If applicable) –
Not recorded
c. Postcode Area (If available, e.g. CM8 or B13) –
Not recorded
2. Contravention: –
Yes
a. Contravention Code –
Yes
b. Contravention Description –
Yes
c. Ticket Type (Off Street / On Street / Bus Lane / Moving Traffic / Named Other) –
Yes – On and Off Street only.
3. Date Issued –
Yes
4. Time Issued (If available) –
Whilst a disclosure of dates of issued penalties is generic information, a disclosure of specific times, together with the identification of the penalty code may assist in identifying individuals. This would therefore be a disclosure of their personal data and a breach of the first data protection principle and this information is exempt from disclosure pursuant to s.40(2) of the Freedom of Information Act 2000.
5. Amount of Fine –
Yes
a. Amount of Fine Issued –
Yes
b. Amount of Fine Paid (including discount for early payment). –

6. Precise Location (If available): –
We do not hold this information beyond the recorded data.
a. Full Postcode –
We do not hold this information beyond the recorded data.
b. Longitude/Latitude –
No
c. Easting/Northing –

7. Status of case (if available) –

Paid / Withdrawn / Cancelled / Appeal Won / Outstanding etc
8. Reason for cancellation or withdrawal (if available) –
