I can confirm that Essex County Council does not hold this information.

 

Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am writing to request information relating to Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued by the authority for yellow box junction contraventions.

 

For the purposes of this request, I am referring specifically to PCNs issued for vehicles entering and stopping in a yellow box junction when prohibited.

 

I would be grateful if you could provide the following information:

Q2. For each of the periods above, please provide the five yellow box junction enforcement locations where the highest number of PCNs was issued, including:

If fewer than five yellow box junction locations were enforced during any of the periods above, please provide figures for all locations enforced.

Q3. For each of the periods above, please provide the total amount received by the authority from yellow box junction PCNs issued during that period.

If revenue is not recorded according to the date on which the PCN was issued, please provide the information in the format in which it is held and explain the basis used.

·       The total outstanding balance relating to those PCNs.

Q5. Please provide the total number of yellow box junction locations currently subject to camera enforcement by the authority.
