Request ID: FOI-2820-2122 Date published: 16 March 2022
You asked
Could you please confirm a road closure that was in place on 28th January 2022 at the entrance to A13 from A406 towards Thurrock at approx 23.45. On this date I followed a diversion which took me onto Royal Docks Road roundabout and then onto the A13 Newham Way towards Stratford which caused me to enter the ULEZ and I have subsequently received a Penalty which I wish to appeal. I have followed the advice of National Highways in completing this request as they have stated this part of the highway does not fall under their remit but is TFL controlled.
