We answered
TfL Ref: 3140-2223 Thank you for your request received by us on 27 February 2023 asking for information about pollution on Victoria Street due to the installation of ULEZ cameras. Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and our information access policy. You specifically asked: I wish to know how many thousand tonnes of toxic fumes were produced on Victoria St during the 9 month traffic jams caused by erection of ULEZ cameras. We do not hold the information you have requested. We do not hold air quality monitoring data directly. Real-time air quality data across London is publicly available on the London Air Quality Network (LAQN) athttps://www.londonair.org.uk/, which includes more than 100 monitoring sites. The site provides detailed hourly data for all monitoring sites, as well as yearly aggregated statistics, which can be used for long-term trends of NO2, PM10 and PM2.5. The work you are referring to on Victoria Street was a project to install a contra flow bus lane to exit the bus station directly onto Victoria Street southbound. This project required the camera and its pole mounting to be moved. The pole was moved once the new kerb and foundation had been installed. This enforcement camera has been in place for some years; the works to move the camera and pole did not cause the delays you have mentioned. If this is not the information you are looking for, or if you are unable to access it for any reason, please do not hesitate to contact me. Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal. Yours sincerely Sara Thomas FOI Case Management Team General Counsel Transport for London
