Dear Mr Baker,
RE: FREEDOM OF INFORMATION AND/OR ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION - BOX JUNCTIONS
I am writing with regard to the information you requested under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and received in this department on the 18th of October 2016.
Information Requested
For the period 1st April 2015 to 30th September 2016, please provide the daily on-street logs grouped by date for each MEV paid for by the Council. The logs should show:
1)The vehicle registration number
2)Location
3)Start time/end date
4)PCNs issued
1)
There are two MEVs paid for by the Council - KR13 JWW and KR13 XKE.
2 & 3)
I am unable to comply with your request as to do so would involve more than 18 hours
of time in identifying, locating and retrieving information in order to attempt to provide the
information requested. Everything located would then need to be checked to ensure it fulfils
the information request criteria and is not covered by any exemption.
I am therefore declining your request on costs grounds under section 12 of FOIA as I estimate
that the cost of complying with the request would exceed the appropriate limit of £450.
4)
KR13 XKE has Automatic Number Plate Recognition with the main purpose of identifying
vehicles who do not have a valid permit to park in controlled parking zones. It does not issue
PCNs as these are done live by various Enforcement Officers
Please find the data for KR13 JWW:

EXEMPTIONS
For points 2 and 3the following exemption applies:
Exemption where cost of compliance exceeds appropriate limit.
12. (1) Section 1(1) does not oblige a public authority to comply with a request for
information if the authority estimates that the cost of complying with the request would
exceed the appropriate limit.
The response to your request has been dealt with under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 or the Environmental Information Regulations 2004.
