Our Ref:         FOI-3412-1920

Thank you for clarifying your request received on 7 February 2020 asking for correspondence with Heathrow Airports Limited (HAL).

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of the [Freedom of Information (FOI) Act / Environmental Information Regulations (EIR)] and TfL’s information access policy.

We do not hold the information you have requested (emails between HAL and TfL over the past six months).

As you know, the charging infrastructure is operated on a commercial basis by HAL. We are aware of your concerns which were raised by the taxi trade some time ago, engagement with HAL took place then. At the time we also encouraged you to engage directly with HAL (using the existing meetings you have with them). We continue to work with third party energy suppliers to ensure that the pricing is fair and consistent with other charging sites across London.

There are several other rapid chargers nearby, which are available at lower cost. TfL will engage in further discussions with Heathrow about the cost of rapid charging and the need to ensure it does not pose a barrier to usage.

Please accept our apologies that we are unable to assist you further on this occasion.

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

Yours sincerely
