Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 18 January 2024 asking for information about vandalism due to ULEZ cameras.

Your request has been considered under the requirements of the Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and our information access policy. I can confirm that we do hold the information you require.
