I do not want the total but individual figures for each day.

Penalty Charge Notices issued on Derby Road Bridge per day between 06th March 2023 and 12th March 2023.

We are unable to provide an exact number for question above as:

• There is a low number involved.
• The release of this information could identify individuals which would constitute their personal data under the Data Protection Act
• There is no prior expectation on the part of these individuals that their personal information would be published in the wider public domain under the FOI Act
• Personal data of any other person is exempt under section 40 (2) of the Data Protection Act.

However in the interests of transparency we are able to provide this information to you categorised as fewer than 5 to give you an indication of the figures

Personal data of any other person (third party data) is exempt under section 40(2) if disclosure would breach one of the data protection principles. This aspect of Section 40 is an Absolute Exemption and is therefore not subject to the Public Interest Test.

If you are dissatisfied with the way in which the council have managed your FOI request you can pursue an Internal Review by contacting us using the above email address.
