Five interesting things I’ve learned about our borough from reading recent FOI disclosure logs:
- The council spent £10,392.88 on hiring private detectives in 2010/2011.
- You are more likely to get a parking ticket on Romford Road than any other road in the borough. 8,273 penalty charge notices were issued for parking offences there in 2012-13, yielding £199,782 in revenue to the council.
- The council’s total take last year from parking tickets, including car parks, was £9,087,594.
- Newham Council does not own any residential properties in the Thanet District Council area.
- There are a total of 3,543 Polish nationals registered to vote in the London Borough of Newham.
