Response

Please accept my apologies for the delay in responding.

Q1 -  Hastings Borough Council have issued 1051 for off street (car parks only). East Sussex County Council enforce on-street, please visit their website for further information regarding on-street parking: www.eastsussex.gov.uk

The totals we have provided above are for penalty charge notices (PCN's). We only issue parking charge notices in the Country Park so of the 1051 total 8 were for parking charge notices and of the 8, 4 paid at £25.

Q2 - Hastings Borough Council do not have all the information to answer this question accurately. There is a time delay from the date of issue to the payment and the payments can be made at a higher or lower rate depending on the time taken to pay. The detail in the financial system does not tell us the date of issue and payments are recorded in the month they come in with an estimated accrual at year end for those that cross the financial years. The total PCN's collected from July to September was £22,900.35 though this will include some of June and possibly May income and not include all of Septembers income which will be collected in future months
