Dear George Elmore,

 

TfL Ref: FOI-1767-2324

 

Thank you for your request received by Transport for London (TfL) on 25
August 2023 asking for information about the Ultra Low Emission Zone
(ULEZ) advertising.

 

Your request has been considered in accordance with the requirements of
the Freedom of Information (FOI) Act and our information access policy. I
can confirm that we do hold the information you require.

 

In accordance with the FOI Act, we are not obliged to provide information
on the spend by specific radio station as it is subject to a statutory
exemption to the right of access to information under section 43(2) –
prejudice to commercial interests.
 
In this instance the section 43(2) exemption has been applied as
disclosure would be likely to prejudice our commercial interests as well
as those of our media partners, by affecting our ability to achieve best
value from our advertising estate as we are still to negotiate and book
media.
 
The use of this exemption is subject to an assessment of the public
interest in relation to the disclosure of the information concerned. We
recognise the need for openness and transparency by public authorities,
but in this instance the public interest in ensuring that we can benefit
the public purse by achieving the best value from our advertising estate
outweighs the general public interest in increasing transparency of our
processes.

 

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

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mary Abidakun
