Request
I am requesting the following information under the Freedom of Information Act. 1. Annual bus lane penalty figures Please provide the following information for each calendar year from 1 January 2021 to the most recent date for which data is available in 2026: 1a. The total number of Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) issued to motorists for driving in designated bus lanes. 1b. The total monetary value of the PCNs issued. Please provide the figures separately for each year rather than as combined totals. If possible, please distinguish between penalties issued following camera detection and those issued through other enforcement methods. 2. Use of automated and AI-enabled cameras Please confirm whether the council uses cameras to detect and enforce bus lane contraventions, and whether these systems use artificial intelligence (AI) or automated video/image analysis to identify potential offences. If applicable, please provide: 2a. The date or year in which automated camera enforcement was first introduced for bus lanes. 2b. The date or year in which any AI-enabled detection system was introduced. 2c. The number of cameras currently used for bus lane enforcement, and the number of AI-enabled cameras, if recorded. 2d. Whether detected contraventions are automatically converted into PCNs or reviewed by a member of staff before a penalty is issued.
