We answered

TfL Ref: 1291-1718 and 1292-1718

Thank you for your web requests received by Transport for London (TfL) on 30 August 2017 asking for information about PHV roundel licence discs. We have combined this response to your requests for ease.

Your requests have been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. I can confirm that we do not hold the information you require. You asked:

Please let me know how many reports you have received by PHV Drivers about damage/peeling off of Licence Roundel on the windscreen due to poor quality of the roundels.

Please let me know under 'Freedom of Information' how many roundels on PHV had had to be replaced due to damage caused by poor quality.

We do not hold this information as we do not specifically record complaints about damaged or poor quality private hire vehicle licence discs. We have however checked with our driver complaints team and our vehicle licensing colleagues; neither have any recorded complaints relating to the quality of the discs.

If you or someone you know is experiencing difficulty with their license discs we would be happy to investigate this further. Our licensing support team can be contacted by emailing [email protected] or by calling 0343 222 4444.

Further details can be found by visiting our website www.tfl.gov.uk/tph.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal as well as information on copyright and what to do if you would like to re-use any of the information we have disclosed.

If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for some reason, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Yours sincerely
