Response

This is for PCNs issued for off-street parking (car parks) only.

East Sussex County Council enforces on-street parking.

The figures provided are minus spoils, voids, test tickets, and warning notices.

The system archives closed cases older than 3 years and so we have provided information for the years available.

The information provided is for PCNs issued for contravention 87 - parked in a designated persons parking place without displaying a valid disabled persons badge.

1.

01/06/2022 to 31/03/2023 = 74

01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024 = 86

01/04/2024 to 22/05/2025 = 142

2 and 3.

01/06/2022 to 31/03/2023 = £3,834

01/04/2023 to 31/03/2024 = £2,407

01/04/2024 to 22/05/2025 = £3,475

We are only able to provide information for contravention 87; we are not able to split this as requested.
