Request

As a time frame, I would like to know answers for questions 2-7 for the last three years as a priority [2021, 2022, 2023]. I do not have a preference whether these are sorted by calendar or financial year but please may you specify which is used in your response. 

  1. Please name the organisation which provides your parking enforcement services? (eg. NSL Ltd / APCOA)
  2. Has this organisation changed in the last ten years? If so, when and what was(/were) the previous organisation(s)?
  3. What was the total number of parking violation PCNs issued in your region during each of the years specified above? [2021, 2022, 2023]
  4. What was the total number of challenges/ representations* submitted against these PCNs during each of these years?
  5. How many of these challenges/ representations were successful each year?
  6. What was the total number of appeals submitted against these PCNs during each of these years?
  7. How many of these appeals were successful each year?
  8. What was the total amount of fines (in £) paid to the council for PCNs during each of these years? Please count the total amount paid and received by the council, not just the value of fines issued.

Response

The information you have sought is available on the Council’s website at https://www.dover.gov.uk/Transport,-Streets--Parking/Parking/Documents--Policies/Home.aspx (within the annual reports).  The Council’s parking enforcement services are undertaken in-house and have never been outsourced.
