Unfortunately the man is a dictator… Even has the last say and is above the rule of the met police commissioner. … Ken

So what is he doing about the Underground, the place that has the worst air pollution of all, especially all the metal particles from the train Brakes. He should think about putting proper ventilation down there, then Londoners would not suffer from the effects of so much air pollution.

So glad that I, nor any of my family, live in the GL area anymore.

Oh the metal particles from the brakes are not your major concern, it's the level of air bourne asbestos that'll take your breath away ( literally as it happens)

Despite overwhelming opposition to the ULEZ Expansion, Dictator Khan is going ahead with it. So from the 29th August 2023 anyone who lives in the Greater London Area with a non-compliant car will have to pay £12.50 day to drive.

Well, if you ask me, it looks like Boris might get a third term as mayor come the next election as I doubt this is going to help anyone with a business in these trying times.

Not a political point at all, just an observation, we had a customer recently, nice normal working family, live in central london in a council property - they had a real problem getting anyone to quote for the job because of the hassle and costs involved in working in central London.These ridiculous charges are discouraging people from working in london, except on high value jobs…..who is that helping Mr ( do you know my dad was a bus driver) Khan…..?

[Rolandino]

I have a much better Idea. Why dont we make the whole of the UK, (apart from Scotland because the poison dwarf will want indy first) totally ULEZ. Oh, I forgot, he then wont have a job.

Sadiq Khan accused of 'manipulating' consultation to expand £12.50 zone as complaint lodged against Mayor.
“Sadiq Khan and his mayoral team have been accused of making ‘false and dishonest’ statements to the London Assembly and 'manipulating' a consultation to expand the £12.50 ultra low emission charge zone (ULEZ).The Mayor of London last month decided to forge ahead with expanding ULEZ across all of Greater London despite a majority of respondents to a public consultation opposing the plans. Under the plans, a £12.50 daily charge will be imposed on any vehicle entering the outer limits of the capital if it does not comply with emissions criteria.”

Several outer London Boroughs including Sutton are rebelling against the ULEZ expansion....

This is the area from August 2023

There are some seriously rural areas included.....watch out, this may be coming to a town near you......

You have to question how paying £12.50 helps air quality....surly, if you are concerned about health the solution is to just ban non compliant vehicles from the ULEZ zone ?

The £12.50 is just the baseball bat they’re using to convince you to either go EV or use public transport. Andy Burnham tried it on the already struggling population of Manchester last year and was told exactly where to shove it. He spent millions on that only to mothball the entire humongous scheme, though I’m sure it’ll be back. Yes air quality in the city needs addressing but putting people out of business when they’re already struggling isn’t really the best way to do it. Just glad I don’t live in London under his watch!
