Disclosure Log

PCNs Issued (2022�2024) (FOI/6423)

Message from Nottinghamshire County Council - 17 September 2025

Dear ***** *****,

 

 

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 2000 – REQUEST FOR INFORMATION REFERENCE FOI/6423

Thank you for your request for information relating to PCNs Issued (2022–2024).

We are now able to provide the following information:

  1. The total number of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued by your council in each of the following calendar years:
    • 2022 – 48,467
    • 2023 – 53,248
    • 2024 – 60,900
  2. If available, please also provide the number of PCNs issued specifically for parking on double yellow lines in each of those years.
    We would be unable to provide the figures for the number of Penalty Charge Notices issued for specifically double yellow lines as Penalty Charge Notices issued for double yellow lines are issued under code 01 which also includes single yellow lines and pedestrian zones. To find the cases issued for double yellow lines, each case would need to be reviewed separately. With a low estimate of 2 minutes per case and not accounting the time to collate the data, the time would significantly surpass the 18 hour threshold.

We trust this now satisfies your request and that you find this information to be helpful, however if you are unhappy with the way in which your request has been handled, then please email us at [email protected] quoting the reference FOI/6423 and we will be happy to review your request

For future reference, Nottinghamshire County Council regularly publishes previous FOI requests and answers on its website, under Disclosure logs, that may provide details relating to your query. (see link) Your privacy: we use your personal information such as name and address so that we can comply with our legal obligations to respond to FOI requests.  For further details about the use of information about you, please see the information handling privacy notice on our website at https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/media/4323566/informationgovernanceandinformationrightsprivacynotice.pdf

If you are dissatisfied with the handling of your request, you have the right to ask for an internal review.   Requests should be submitted within 40 working days of the date of receipt of the response to your original request and should be addressed to: Complaints and Information Team, Nottinghamshire County Council, County Hall, Loughborough Road, West Bridgford, NOTTINGHAM, NG2 7QP or [email protected].

Please remember to quote the reference number above in any future communications.

If you are not content with the outcome of the internal review, you have the right to apply directly to the Information Commissioner for a decision.  The Information Commissioner can be contacted at: Information Commissioner’s Office, Wycliffe House, Water Lane, WILMSLOW, SK9 5AF or https://www.nottinghamshire.gov.uk/global-content/privacy

 

I confirm that the authority holds information falling within the description specified in your request. However, we estimate that the cost of complying with your request would exceed the appropriate limit. The appropriate limit has been specified in regulations and for local authorities it is set at £450. This represents the estimated cost of one person spending 2 1/2 working days in determining whether the Department holds the information, and locating, retrieving and extracting the information. Under section 12 of the Freedom of Information Act the Department is not obliged to comply with your request and we will not be processing your request further.

If you were to make a new request for a narrower category of information, it may be that we could comply with that request within the appropriate limit, although I cannot guarantee that this will be the case. You may wish to ask for assistance in narrowing your request.

Having applied an absolute exemption I am not required to consider the balance of public interest for and against disclosure.
