Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 2 December 2024 asking for information about ULEZ PCNs issued to vehicles registered to addresses in Dartford.
Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
PCNs are issued to the registered keeper of a vehicle as held by the DVLA. This does not necessarily mean that the driver of the vehicle resides at the address to which the penalty was issued. For example, many vehicles being driven in the ULEZ are on hire or lease and the driver may not be the registered keeper. Please note that the figures include PCNs issued to the same vehicle on more than one occasion so are not reflective of the total number of individual vehicles that have been subject to a PCN. Any net revenue received from the ULEZ is reinvested into running and improving London’s transport network, such as expanding bus routes in outer London and including services which may extend outside of the capital’s boundaries.
The table below details the number of PCNs issued where the registered keeper is at the said postcode along with payments towards these PCNs. Please note that the amount paid will rise over time as more PCNs are paid.
Total PCNs issued between 1 March and 31 August 2024 for the requested postcode districts:
