Our ref: FOI-1109-1920/GH

Thank you for your e-mail received on 15 July 2019 asking for information about the Number of PCN's for Rotherhithe Tunnel.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

Any vehicle which is registered with the DVLA as being more than two metres (6'6") high and two metres (6'6") wide or goods vehicles weighing more than two tonnes (gross vehicle weight) are not safe to travel through the Rotherhithe Tunnel; we do not differentiate between vehicles i.e. Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and LGVs.

As of 17 July 2019, we have issued 77,717 PCNs to drivers whose vehicles were observed by our cameras on the northbound and southbound Rotherhithe Tunnel approaches, which exceeded the width and weight restriction since it was introduced on 4 February 2019.

If this is not the information you are looking for please do not hesitate to contact me.

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Graham Hurt
