![]() (The Guardian) Sadiq Khan, the mayor of London, has published a press notice with full details of his plans for an ultra low emission zone in London. He is already introducing a £10 T-charge (toxicity charge) for the most polluting cars that will come into force in October this year. Now he is proposing to build on that by introducing an ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) for central London, with higher charges, in 2019. He is also proposing to extend that in stages, so that by 2021 it would cover all polluting vehicles inside the north/south circular. Caroline Russell, a Green member of the London assembly, has said that Khan should be extending the ULEZ more quickly. In a statement she said: Londoners suffering from asthma, and other health conditions, worsened by the dirty air, will be desperately disappointed by the mayor’s sluggish timetable for clean air that backtracks on his manifesto promise. His original plans outlined a London-wide ULEZ for buses, coaches and lorries “as early as 2019” with an all-vehicle ULEZ to the north and south circular by 2020. It’s very disappointing to see these delayed when around 9,000 deaths in London are attributed to air pollution every year. -Read more: https://www.london.gov.uk/press-releases/mayoral/mayor-plans-to-introduce-ulez-in-april-2019 |
