FOI Request for information related to all those road users (Pedestrians and otherwise) killed or serious injured in Elephant and Castle

The request was successful.

Dear Transport for London,

Under the FOI Act I would like to request the following data;

A list of road users (pedestrians or otherwise) killed or seriously injured whilst using the road commonly referred to as 'Elephant and Castle' - since the removal of the roundabout. (i.e. New Kent Road, A201 between junctions Meadow Row, Newington Causeway, London Rd, St Georges Road and Walworth Road. I am interested in all data related to those affected on the actual road and those approaching it from aforementioned junctions.) This would apply to the period from December 2015 up until the most recent data available.

Any risk or impact assessment reports carried out prior to the removal of the roundabout

A list of road users (pedestrians or otherwise) killed or seriously injured whilst using the road commonly referred to as 'Elephant and Castle' - before the removal of the roundabout. Specifically can I request the data from 2011 - 2014.

Thank you

Yours faithfully,

Colin Denby

Dear Mr Denby

 

Our ref: FOI-2580-1920

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 22
November 2019 asking for information about Elephant and Castle.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information Act and our Information Access Policy. You
asked:

 

Under the FOI Act I would like to request the following data;

 

A list of road users (pedestrians or otherwise) killed or seriously
injured whilst using the road commonly referred to as 'Elephant and
Castle' - since the removal of the roundabout. (i.e. New Kent Road, A201
between junctions Meadow Row,  Newington Causeway, London Rd, St Georges
Road and Walworth Road. I am interested in all data related to those
affected on the actual road and those approaching it from aforementioned
junctions.) This would apply to the period from December 2015 up until the
most recent data available.

 

Any risk or impact assessment reports carried out prior to the removal of
the roundabout.

 

A list of road users (pedestrians or otherwise) killed or seriously
injured whilst using the road commonly referred to as 'Elephant and
Castle' - before  the removal of the roundabout. Specifically can I
request the data from 2011 - 2014.

 

Please find attached Stage 1 and 2 Road Safety Audits for Elephant and
Castle prior to the removal of the roundabout.

 

In accordance with the FOI Act, personal information has been redacted as
it is subject to a statutory exemption to the right of access to
information under section 40(2). This exemption to your right of access is
applied in accordance with TfL’s obligations under the Data Protection Act
1998 (DPA).

 

The exemption applies because disclosure of personal information would be
a breach of the DPA, specifically the first principle of the DPA which
requires all processing of personal data to be fair and lawful.

 

The London Collision map holds personal injury collision data for the
London area from 2005 – 2018 which is the latest finalised data available
and can be found here:
[1]https://tfl.gov.uk/corporate/safety-and-...

 

In accordance with section 21 of the FOI Act, we are not obliged to supply
you with a copy of the requested information as it is already accessible
to you elsewhere.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

Dear TFL Team,

Thank you for this information, it is very much appreciated. I am particularly pleased to see the 'London Collision map' - I think this is a great resource for any interested parties when it comes to analysing and understanding road safety in the capital. It works very well and I very much hope that it is updated to cover 2019. (I realise we are only 2 weeks into 2020 and London its not exactly a small city!)

Yours sincerely,

Colin Denby
