Request

The Gov.je website displays the number of free parking spaces in multi-storey car parks at this link:

Live available car park spaces (multi-storey car parks)

Is the historic data from this page recorded and if so could I please have a copy of the dataset, preferably in a machine readable format such as a CSV or Excel file. To be clear, I am looking to perform some analysis on the use of the car parks and so require the history of the number of spaces in each car park over time.

Response

We have provided spreadsheets containing figures which show the number of parking spaces available in the following car parks for each 24 hour period for 2017 and 2018. This data was recorded at 2.5 minute intervals.

Green Street
Minden Place
Patriotic Street
Pier Road
Sand Street

We do not hold any historic data for April and May 2018 due to a system failure. In addition any time shown as -1 is an indication of a system error, therefore, no information is available for these times.

Please note that there may be discrepancies in the data as our systems do not adjust the figures regarding any spaces which are out of service due to maintenance and so on.
