TfL has not published data on the locations of Ulez cameras in the new zone or any details of the number damaged or stolen.

However, data taken from Julie’s Ulez Map, a crowd-sourced map recording camera locations, appears to show that at least 450 of the 1,762 cameras recorded in the expansion zone were damaged or missing as of Thursday.

It identified several hotspots for vandalism including the London Borough of Bromley, where 80 per cent of Ulez cameras have been removed or damaged.

In one of the most recent attacks, a Ulez camera installed 150 yards from a cemetery and crematorium near Upminster, north-east London, was vandalised when its post was snapped in half on Wednesday night.

A TfL spokesman said: “We have an extensive camera network, which is sufficient to support the effective operation of the scheme. We have deployed some mobile units as part of the mix of cameras.

“Anyone driving a non-compliant vehicle within the expanded zone will be detected, and we advise everyone to check whether their vehicle is compliant and to consider the various support that is available.”
