I am writing to submit a request under the Freedom of Information Act regarding off-street parking finances.
Please provide the following information for the financial years 2023/24, 2024/25, and 2025/26 (using actual figures where available and budgets otherwise).
Please ensure these figures relate solely to off-street parking, isolated from on-street or enforcement data:
- Gross Revenue: Budgeted and actual gross revenue for off-street parking (surface, undercover, and multi-storey), broken down by pay-and-display/cashless, permits/season tickets, lettings/rents, and any other income streams.
Please reference published sources or confirm if these figures cannot be separated.
- Net Position: The net surplus or deficit on off-street parking operations after all related expenditure (e.g., maintenance and enforcement).
- Allocations: The amounts and purposes of any surpluses transferred to the general fund, reserves, non-parking debt servicing, or other unrelated areas, including relevant dates and cabinet or policy references.
- Policy: The current policy regarding off-street parking income, specifically concerning hypothecation or ring-fencing for maintenance versus general fund treatment.
- Maintenance and Capital Works: A summary of maintenance, repairs, or capital works on off-street car parks funded by parking revenues since May 2023.
Please include key sites, approximate costs, dates, and relevant extracts from condition surveys, risk assessments, or budget monitoring reports.
