You asked
Have the traffic lights on the Kingston Road Epsom and Tolworth been altered to slow down traffic? I’m aware Sadiq Khan has manipulated consultation results to push through the recent ULEZ expansion and it now appears the lights have suddenly been altered to manipulate traffic and cause deliberate tailbacks and false readings on pollution, if this is the case then this is fraudulent and I kindly request a FOI regarding the recent traffic light phasing within the area.

I can confirm that we hold the information you require. However, for a detailed explanation of the operation of the signals we would need to prepare a traffic signal sequencing report. A distinct process exist for this information, for which there is a charge. Should you wish to proceed, please send a request directly to [email protected]who will advise further.
