FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST REFERENCE NO: 321190
I write in connection with your request for information which was received on 27th March 2024. Please find below the response to your request:
Number of people that have received a ticket for stopping illegally on the side of the road over the last 12 months.
I would like the data to include the reason they were stopped and the road they were stopped on.

West Mercia Police hold some of the information you have requested, the system does not hold the reason why people were stopped however the offence title will give some indication to the reasoning.
