There are over 3,700 ULEZ rooms in London.

A TfL spokesman said: “Vandalism is unacceptable and all incidents on our network are reported to the police for investigation.

“Criminal damage to ULEZ cameras puts perpetrators at risk of prosecution and injury, while also putting public safety at risk.

“Vandalizing the camera will not stop ULEZ operating across London.

“All vandalized rooms are repaired or replaced as soon as possible.

“We have an extensive camera network which is sufficient to support the efficient functioning of the scheme.

“Anyone driving a non-compliant vehicle in the extended area will be detected and we advise everyone to check that their vehicle is compliant and consider the various supports available to help transition to greener modes of transport.”
