Dear Ms Hughson

The first anniversary of Powys County Council taking over responsibility for Civil Parking Enforcement approaches and this provides an opportunity for constituents and the wider public to look at the council’s adoption of CPE and how cost-effective it has been.

Accordingly we are submitting the following Freedom of Information request in order to ascertain the establishment costs of the Council’s adoption of Civil Parking Enforcement.

We appreciate that the information requested is extensive but hope we are able to receive a full response within the statutory twenty day period.

Regards
