NCP Car Park Assaults (949A/21)
Request
I would be grateful if you could provide me with information on the number of assaults in the NCP car parks in birmingham.
I am trying to find out the number of assaults on members of the public, in particular nursing and key workers from the Children’s hospital, which have taken place in car parks in the city of Birmingham. Specifically looking at car parks located near the Childrens Hospital.
Clarification received 25/06/2021:
I am primarily looking at NCP; Royal Angus, High Street and Londonderry. Data from April 2018 is fine, I am trying to find out assaults, violent, non violent. I guess search for assaults in the car parks, if you cannot access their professional status.
Would you be able to provide any information on assaults in the centre of Birmingham over a 12 month period?
