TfL Ref: FOI-1393-2021

Thank you for your revised request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 21 October 2020, asking about police diversions into the ULEZ, between 23 Dec 2019 and 2 Jan 2020.

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

Between 23 Dec 2019 and 2 Jan 2020 we located only one diversion into the ULEZ zone. This was for City Road northbound closure at Old Street due to emergency gas works. However, there is no mention this diversion was implemented at the request of the Police. Drivers are not charged if they are diverted into the zone and take the next available exit.  

If you are considering submitting a further FOI request please think carefully about whether the request is essential at this current time, as answering FOI requests will require the use of limited resources and the attention of staff who could be supporting other essential activity. Where requests are made, please note that our response time may be impacted by the current situation.

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

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.

Yours sincerely
