You asked
Follow-on from from FOI-4428-2324 asking for information about the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ).
The data you sent me shows ULEZ daily charges for Jan 2023 as £6.6m (nearly 3m less than in the above) and PCN payments as £3.9m (1.2m more than above) why are there discrepancies? The same can be seen in Feb, Mar and Apr too.
We answered
Our Ref: FOI-0030-2425
Thank you for your request received on 5 April 2024 asking for further information about Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) charges and penalty charge notices (PCNs). Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require. We are sorry to see there were discrepancies between the data given in two of our previous responses. Unfortunately, this was due to an oversight/administrative error when changing the date filter to obtain the data. This meant prepaid charges prior to 29 August 2023 were not included in the response to FOI-4428-2324. This has now been rectified and I can confirm that the updated figures below are correct.
