Information regarding appeals is not held; tickets are forwarded to the relevant officer and it is up to them to appeal. Of these 18, only one officer requested to make a payment as a genuine parking mistake.

4)         If available, an estimate of the administrative cost or staff time associated with handling these PCNs.
If the full breakdown is not available, please provide any partial data held.
