Dear ###

We write further to your request which was received on 26th November 2019 and which states:

"What is the total budget for parking control officers salaries, and how much revenue is collected yearly from fines related to driving offences. Please give information from the last 3 years, if possible, and give a break down of revenue per offence."

While our aim is to provide information whenever possible, in this instance the public authority does not hold the information that you have requested.

Further information The other authorities that may hold information are The Department of Infrastructure, Douglas, Castletown, Ramsey and Peel Commissioners – all of whom have officers appointed as parking controllers. The General Registry has the responsibility to recover fines and so it is there that you may obtain information about the revenues collected.

Please quote the reference number 1072361 in any future communications.
