TfL Ref: EIR-1155-2122
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 1st September 2021 asking for information about the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone.
Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy.
Specifically you asked:
“Please provide the locations of the new ULEZ Cameras required for the expansion of the ULEZ being implemented from 25 October 2021.”
The aim of the ULEZ scheme is to improve air quality in London by deterring the most polluting vehicles from driving in the area. Unlike the central London zone, it is not possible to have cameras on every single entry and exit point of the ULEZ due to the sheer scale of the zone. Releasing the location of these cameras could enable those who wish to avoid detection to enter the zone. The locations of the cameras outside the central London zone are therefore exempt from disclosure under the Environmental Information Regulations exception 12(5)(g).
Further information on the rationale for this - including consideration of the ‘public interest test’ - is as set out in similar previous cases, such as the one that can be found via the following link in relation to the original scheme here:
More general information about the ULEZ expansion - including a map of the area to be covered from 25th October 2021 - can be found on our website here:
