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 TfL does hold the information you require.
However, the information you have requested is exempt from disclosure in accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, which applies where the information requested is accessible to the applicant by other means.
As you have requested information which can be obtained internally within the London Borough of Croydon, of which you are one of the Councillors, we therefore we consider that this information is exempt from disclosure under section 21 of the Freedom of Information Act as it is accessible to you elsewhere.
This exemption is an absolute exemption and so there is no requirement to go on to consider the public interest.
