Freedom of Information Request from DfT in relation to Scarborough's CPZ

This is the Freedom of Information request from former Police Officer Richard Bentley to the Department for Transport and the response from Ian Boddington.

In the public interest it has been reproduced in exactly the same format as it was provided by the DfT.

The only information 'missing' is believed to be the FIRST advice provided to Scarborough and North Yorkshire Councils from Stephen Sauvain QC. This advice was shared with Government officials and is understood to condemn councils who had not complied with the strict definition of a Controlled Parking Zone.

The DfT has refused to disclose this evidence to the High Court.

Red Routes invalidate CPZs says Department for Transport

This document was released under the Freedom of Information Act and is self-explanatory.

In 2009 Westminster City Council finally took heed of the advice ... five years after being informed.

Other London Boroughs have yet to act.
