FOI request detail

TfL licensed drivers with Brighton address

Request ID: FOI-2107-1718
Date published: 29 November 2017

You asked

Follow on from FOI-1968-1718 Is there anywhere I can get postcode breakdowns for previous years? In particular, for 2013 onwards? I noticed there was a big jump in the total numbers of private hire drivers in 2014, and wondered how much of that was from drivers living outside London.

Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested as the data produced is constantly refreshed with updated information, thereby overwriting the old data in the process. Consequently, it cannot be retrieved and backdated for previous years.
 
Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.
 
Yours sincerely
