You asked

Dear TFL, Under Freedom Of Information I formally request copies of the Consultation question documents that were carried out on the Ultra Low Emission Zone on following dates:- Consultation on Air Quality which was carried out from 05/07/2016 to 29/07/2016. Consultation on New Proposals to Improve Air Quality was carried out from 10/10/2016 to 29/10/2016. Consultation on the Maximum Age Limits for Taxis was carried out from 15/02/2019 to 26/04/2019. For the avoidance of any doubt or confusion I request for the Consultation questionnaire documents that Londoners filled in / replied to for TFL to be able to make their conclusions on. I have searched for this documents on TFLs website and it no longer available because when you click on the link a box comes up and reads “unfortunately, this consultation is now closed and no more on line responses will be accepted” Therefore the Consultation questionnaire documents that Londoners filled in / replied to for TFL to be able to make their conclusions on are not available. I wish for these to be sent to me in a PDF or JPEG format, I am Dyslexic therefore not very competent with IT. I cannot see that this is a very difficult request because it must be possible to scan Consultation questionnaire documents that Londoners filled in / replied to for TFL to be able to make their conclusions on and e-mail me the same.

TfL Ref 1964-2021

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 1 January 2021 asking for information about ULEZ consultation questionnaires.

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

Two out of the three consultation questionnaires are available on our website. The links below to the pdf files are as follows:

Consultation on New Proposals to Improve Air Quality was carried out from 10/10/2016 to 29/10/2016.

Report has been published and the questions are in appendix D  (page 45) https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/environment/air-quality-consultation-phase-2/user_uploads/appendix-a-to-h---final.pdf-1

Consultation on the Maximum Age Limits for Taxis was carried out from 15/02/2019 to 26/04/2019.

Report has been published and the questions are in appendix B (page 182) https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/tph/taxi-age-limits/user_uploads/taxi-age-limits-consultation-report.pdf

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible to you elsewhere.

The Consultation on Air Quality which was carried out from 05/07/2016 to 29/07/2016 was not a TfL consultation so we don’t hold the questions or report on this, however we believe that it may have been carried out by the GLA so you can contact them directly at: https://www.london.gov.uk/about-us/governance-and-spending/sharing-our-information/freedom-information

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 some 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
