“Unjustified And Undemocratic!” FIERCE Clash Over Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ Expansion

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has declared he will press ahead with extending the capital’s ultra low emission zone (Ulez) after five councils failed in their legal bid to stop him.

He described the High Court judgment as a “landmark decision” and pledged to “do everything possible” to address “any concerns Londoners may have” about the scheme’s expansion on August 29.

The outer London boroughs of Bexley, Bromley, Harrow and Hillingdon along with Surrey County Council – all led by the Conservatives – launched legal action in February over the Labour mayor’s proposals to extend Ulez beyond the North and South Circular roads to include the whole of the city.

Global Action Plan’s Andrew Pendleton and anti-ULEZ campaigner Alan Miller clash over Sadiq Khan’s policy.

Alan: “It’s an unnecessary, unjustified, unacceptable, undemocratic imposition.”

Andrew: “The thing about air pollution is that if affects all of us, for all of our lives and every organ in our body.”
