I would like to FOI the following:

We answered
Our Ref: FOI-0313-2021
Thank you for your request received on 1 June 2020 asking for information about the Silvertown Tunnel
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. I can confirm we hold some of the information you require.
TfL distributed materials to advertise public consultations on the Silvertown Tunnel prior to submitting an application for a Development Consent Order in 2016. Consultation materials were distributed to addresses in the local area and handed out at consultation events in order to encourage as many people as possible to participate and provide their views on the scheme. Further information on public consultations on the Silvertown Tunnel scheme can be found on our website at https://tfl.gov.uk/travel-information/improvements-and-projects/silvertown-tunnel. We are unable to identify the specific costs of producing or distributing these consultation materials, given these formed part of a wider budget and were incurred several years ago.
Since these consultations, neither TfL, the GLA or Riverlinx have distributed any leaflets to promote the Silvertown Tunnel.
If this is not the information you are looking for please feel free to contact me.
