Requested Tue 09 May 2017
Responded Tue 09 May 2017

1. What is the total income from car parking ticket machines at car parks which fall under your authority?

2. How much of that income was derived from ‘over paying’ sometimes called ‘over vending’?

To be clear, this happens when - for example - a person parking in a car park seeks to pay for an hours parking which may cost £1.50 but they only have a £2.00 coin and the machine does not offer change.  

3. Approximately how many car parking ticket machines do you have in total?  

4. What is the hourly charge on the majority of your car parking ticket machines?
