London Councils

The complainant has requested various information from London Councils relating to the Parking on Private Land Appeals (POPLA) service which it provides under contract to the British Parking Association. London Councils has disclosed some of the information requested (with redactions under sections 40(2) and 43(2) of the FOIA) but withheld details of appeals from penalty charge notices (PCN) issued by ParkingEye on the basis that it does not hold this information for the purposes of the FOIA. The Commissioner’s decision is that London Councils does not hold the information relating to the ParkingEye appeals for the purposes of the FOIA and therefore he does not require any further steps to be taken. Information Tribunal appeal EA/2014/0307 dismissed. Information Tribunal appeal GIA/2387/2015 dismissed.
