Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 12 February 2019 asking for information about PCNs issued by TfL on 11 and 12 October due to an M25 diversion.

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the Freedom of Information Act and our information access policy. 

Unfortunately we do not hold the information you have requested. This is because our Low Emission Zone (LEZ) ANPR cameras do not record information in such a way that the route a vehicle takes can be determined. In other words we have no way of knowing where a vehicle enters or exits the zone, only that they were spotted within the zone somewhere.

Our representation and appeals team would like to investigate your representations as a separate issue, and they will contact you shortly to discuss this and to obtain more details from you.

I’m sorry that we are not able to assist you further with your information request.

Please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely

Sara Thomas
