Once you are through the ulez then if you carry on further into London you pay the £15 congestion chargeIf your vehicle doesn't meet the ULEZ emission standards and isn't exempt, you need to pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive inside the zone. This applies to: Cars, motorcycles, vans and specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes)....FFS !! More illegal revenue gathering...
If it were truly about emissions then it wouldn't be ok to still drive if you pay £12.50Ditch the inner ULEZ as well. Then (if clean air and congestion -really- are the problems) make central London a "private car exclusion zone", and extend that to Kensington / Knightsbridge / Chelsea. Maybe (full time) residents by permit? Plenty of public transport in that area, and taxis for those that need them.
Tradesmen and commercial vehicles will need access to the inner zone, but that could be done by registering a van / lorry with TfL and proving it belongs to a business user in order to get a permit.
No one in their right minds drives into London anyway, even when you get there, parking is a nightmare. If I ever drove to work, it was when I was on the late shift and could get parking at work as daytime people left, and even then it was only something I did if I wanted to give the car a run. Or in the midst of winter.
(cannot find a pot stirring graphic thing....)
Using anpr cameras to catch polluting cars is not legalI agree with most sentiments expressed here , except if Mayor and council voted this fairly into law , then how can/could it be illegal ? ….. obviously have no idea how things work there , but kinda curious on the “illegal” charge comment
These premature deaths that have been sighted as justification of this expansion of legislation needs to be clinically investigated by a coroner as thats a concern to many citys/countries right now.....Being "premature death"I agree with most sentiments expressed here , except if Mayor and council voted this fairly into law , then how can/could it be illegal ? ….. obviously have no idea how things work there , but kinda curious on the “illegal” charge comment
He also suppressed a report that said the legislation would have next to no effect on pollutionThese premature deaths that have been sighted as justification of this expansion of legislation needs to be clinically investigated by a coroner as thats a concern to many citys/countries right now.....Being "premature death"
The high court has now ruled there is sufficient evidence that Sadiq Khan’s Ulez decision may have been unlawful
As emails reveal the Mayor's officials removed thousands of votes submitted to a consultation on whether to expand Ulez across the whole of London.
Therefore my conclusion of illegal process and fees is self explanatory
I think this is clearly a case of data mulipulation by this corrupt P.O.SHe also suppressed a report that said the legislation would have next to no effect on pollution
He claims thousands are dying per yet when an FOI was done they found 1 death where traffic pollution was cited as being contributory
And that person had a rare respiratory condition I believe
The points made about premature death was used by the mayor to justify the expansion of the ULEZ...and now as we see from a official information request he has lied to his constituents about the data to further gather revenue....(illegal )I will avoid London for the remainder of life , thanks for the dire warnings … although my daughter is visiting later this summer …. will pass on your concerns , geez Baz do you live there ? , kinda surprised so many good folks remain , considering all inhabitants face almost certain premature death , based on what you 2 are sayin …

No one ever seems to think of the law of unintended consequences, or simply think things through properly these days.I don't live in London but my partner lives in Kent
Just inside the outer London zone so I will have to pay the ulez when I visit her
Some of my workmates will have to pay every day to get to work because they live within the zone
It's going to hit many people very hard
The answer is to buy a newer vehicle
I know couple of people that have already done that
But a young nurse or care worker or a pensioner etc etc simply cannot afford a new or newer vehicle
So I guess they'll be forced off the road there's no where near enough public transport to cope either
Even things like the London to Brighton mini rally is having its last year this year because of ulez
People will change their shopping habits because if you are near the border you turn left to a shop it'll cost you £12.50 turn right and it costs nothing, which way would you turn ?
The list of things it'll affect is endless
Yet knife crime, phone thefts, violent crime , corrupt police and all the other crap that goes on in and around London is left unchecked
Virtue Signalling out rules reasoned thinking today.No one ever seems to think of the law of unintended consequences, or simply think things through properly these days.
