Our ref: FOI-1262-2122/GH
Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 15 September 2021, asking for information about ULEZ cameras in E11.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
The aim of the LEZ and ULEZ schemes 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 LEZ 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 number and locations of the cameras outside the central London zone are therefore exempt from disclosure under the Environmental Information Regulations exception 12(5)(g). Whilst we make no suggestion that you would use this information for anything other than you own personal interest, disclosure of this information to you has to be regarded as a disclosure to ‘the public at large’. Further information on the rationale for this 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: https://www.whatdotheyknow.com/request/tfl_anpr_cameras_and_data?unfold=1
