Our Ref: FOI-0307-2324
Thank you for your request received on 30 April 2023 asking for information about camera locations on the A23.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
The information you have requested regarding the location of the ULEZ expansion cameras is exempt from disclosure under section 31(1)(a) Law Enforcement which relates to all aspects of the prevention and detection of crime, section 38 - Health and Safety, and section 43(2) – prejudice to commercial interests of the FOI Act. In all three cases, we consider that the release of this information would be likely to cause the prejudice or harm indicated by the exemptions, by encouraging vandalism to target our traffic enforcement cameras.
The rationale for this is explained in more detail in a response available on our website:
