Department for Transport Freedom of Information Request

Anyone concerned with their Local Authority's Decriminalised Parking Enforcement regime?
Do you think that the Department for Transport checked your Council's claims in their application for DPE?

Sunderland City Council gave 'reassurances' that all the signs, lines and TROs would be correct and in force by February 3rd 2003.
The faults identified by the Consultants were never corrected before 3rd Feb. 2003.
At the NPAS hearing on 2nd October 2006 the Head of Parking Services stated that 'hand on heart he couldn't confirm whether they were even correct now' yet enforcement continues.

This is a further request to the DfT.

Dear Mr. Boddington,

I would be grateful if you could supply copies of all communications (e-mails, letters and notes and any other documented communications) both internally and externally between officials of the Department for Transport, officers and members of the Local Authority (Sunderland City Council) and any other interested parties regarding the Decriminalised Parking Enforcement regime in Sunderland and issues arising from matters connected with the DPE regime.

This is further to my request of 18th October 2005 so will therefore include communications not supplied subsequent to that e-mail and communications from 18th October 2005 to present.

I would be grateful if you could acknowledge receipt of this communication.

Yours sincerely,
