Dear Mr Carter

Thank you for your Information requested to which i have responded to each
of your questions in turn below.

1. What are the targets for the issuance of PCNs by Haringey's Civil Enforcement Officers please, either by shift, by hour or by other measure of time?

- There are no targets for our CEOs. We expect them to carry out their duties as trained and issue penalty notices in accordance with our enforcement policy.

2. Has this target (or targets) altered over time?

- Not applicable

3. Is there any minimum rate of issue, or minimum number of PCNs issued, that is acceptable to the Council?

- No

4. Do Parking Services, as a whole, have any form of target to reach in terms of income from PCNs for the Council?

- Traffic Management do for the sake of financial prudence set a budget which includes assumptions of income, primarily based on previous years income. Where significant changes such as increased charges for PCNs, (following Department of Transport approval)  these are also factored in.
