FOI/2024 Parking Tickets
Provision of information held by Northumbria Police made under the Freedom of Information Act 2000 (the 'Act')
Thank you for your email received on the 2 January 2026 in which you provided clarification in relation to a request for access to certain information which may be held by Northumbria Police.
As you may be aware the purpose of the Act is to allow a general right of access to information held at the time of a request, by a Public Authority (including the Police), subject to certain limitations and exemptions.
We have now had the opportunity to fully consider your request, and we provide a response for your attention.
Following receipt of your request, searches were conducted with the Corporate Development and Criminal Justice and Custody Departments of Northumbria Police. We can confirm that the information you have requested is held in part by Northumbria Police.
We are able to disclose the located information to you as follows, with the below caveat to be noted:
• We are unable to separate the number of Fixed Penalty Notices according to location. Accordingly, the data provided reflects offences detected across the Northumbria Police force area.
You asked:
In each calendar year 2021-2025 inclusive, how many tickets or prosecutions have you issued to drivers for each of the following contraventions of the Highway Code;
1. Rule 191 - Parking on Zebra Crossing Markings

1. Rule 191 - Parking on Zebra Crossing Markings
| Year | No. Fixed Penalty Notices |
| 2021 | 67 |
| 2022 | 124 |
| 2023 | 231 |
| 2024 | 497 |
| 2025 | 618 |
2. Rule 192 - Blocking a Pedestrian Crossing
This is categorised under the same offence as the data provided in our response to point 1.
3. Contraventions of School Streets,
We do not categorise offences by whether or not they occur on a school street. Accordingly, no information is held in relation to your query at this point.
4. Rule 244 - Pavement Parking causing an obstruction to pedestrians,
| Year | No. Fixed Penalty Notices |
| 2021 | 51 |
| 2022 | 46 |
| 2023 | 68 |
| 2024 | 48 |
| 2025 | 36 |
5. Anything waiting, stopping, or parking that isn't enforced by the Local Authorities.
This data is provided in our responses to the above points.
Ideally, by year and if possible, in the Newcastle City Council area.
As explained above we are unable to separate the number of Fixed Penalty Notices by location – the data provided in our responses therefore reflects offences detected across the Northumbria Police force area.
