Kia ora Joseph,

On behalf of the Ministry of Transport I would like to apologise for the delay in responding to you. We have checked both our inbox and our junk/spam folder, but unfortunately we have been unable to locate your original OIA request. Please be assured that had we received it, we would have actioned it.

Please accept this email as acknowledgement of your OIA, which we have now found on the FYI site - can you please confirm that this is still what you are requesting?

"Are there any plans to increase Parking Fines this year? Inflation alone has made the minimal $12 parking fine trivial and has removed the deterrent associated with it."

We will consider your request and respond appropriately as set out in the Official Information Act 1982.

Ngā mihi nui,
