Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 31 August 2023 asking for information about our ULEZ cameras.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and our information access policy.  You asked: Under the FOI/EIR please provide:
  1. A list of all locations of ULEZ cameras in the boroughs of Waltham Forest, Havering and Redbridge including their location, the model of camera, when it was installed and its approximate cost.
  2. Within that list, information showing whether each camera has been broken, damaged, stolen, destroyed or otherwise put out of use, if possible specifying what has happened, on what approximate date and approximately at what time.

We do hold the information you require. However, in accordance with the EIR, we are not obliged to supply any of the information as it is subject to a statutory exception to the right of access to information under regulations R12(5)(a) – international relations, defence, national security & public safety (in this instance specifically public safety), regulation 12(5)(b) – the course of justice, the ability of a person to receive a fair trial or the ability of the public authority to conduct and inquiry of a criminal or disciplinary nature – (in this instance specifically the course of justice), and regulation 12(5)(e) – confidentially of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provide by law to protect a legitimate economic interest.

The rationale for this is explained in more detail in a published response to a previous information request which is available on our website here:
