You asked

I am submitting a Freedom of Information Request on the number of Vehicles that received a ULEZ Penalty Notice, from your ANPR cameras on Welland Road, departing Heathrow T5, during 2024, and the number of Vehicles that received a ULEZ Penalty Notice, from your ANPR cameras on Wayfarer Road, approaching Heathrow T5, during 2024 I would also like you to explain why when booking one’s parking for T5 short stay online, there is NO warning or notice that the Heathrow T5 is in the ULEZ zone, or better still, why you don’t offer the ULEZ charge as an add-on to one’s booking?

We answered

Our ref: FOI-3715-2425/GH

Thank you for your requests received by Transport for London (TfL) on 14 & 20 February 2025 asking for information about ULEZ.

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


However, in accordance with the EIR, we are not obliged to supply the information on the number of PCNs issued at specific locations, as this information is subject to a statutory exception to the right of access to information under regulation 12(5)(a) – international relations, defence, national security & public safety (in this instance specifically public safety), regulation 12(5)(b) – the course of justice, the ability of a person to receive a fair trial or the ability of the public authority to conduct and inquiry of a criminal or disciplinary nature – (in this instance specifically the course of justice), and regulation 12(5)(e) – confidentially of commercial or industrial information where such confidentiality is provide by law to protect a legitimate economic interest.

The rationale for this is explained in more detail in a published response to a previous information request which is available on our website here:

https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/transparency/freedom-of-information/foi-request-detail?referenceId=FOI-0970-2324

 

TfL has no control of parking at Heathrow, and therefore we do not hold any information regarding online bookings.

 

If you are not satisfied with this response please see the attached information sheet for details of your right to appeal.

Yours sincerely
