“Can I Finish My SENTENCE?” | Fierce Debate Over Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ Expansion
London mayor Sadiq Khan accused the Government of “weaponising air pollution” ahead of his expansion of the capital’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez).
In an interview with the PA news agency, the Labour mayor said he was “disappointed” at the lack of Government support for the policy and its accompanying scrappage scheme.
From Tuesday, the Ulez will be expanded to include the whole of the capital, making it the world’s largest pollution charging area.
People who drive in the zone in a vehicle that does not meet minimum emissions standards are required to pay a £12.50 daily fee or risk a £180 fine, reduced to £90 if paid within 14 days.
TalkTV’s Peter Cardwell debates the ULEZ expansion with consultant respiratory specialist Dr Laura Jane-Smith who supports the policy.
