A Freedom of Information request has revealed more than £218 million is owed in unpaid ULEZ fines in London.
A Freedom of Information request revealed that more than 1.3 million penalty charges were issued from September 2023 to April 2024.The transport authority also revealed that one driver had received over 200 fines for a single non-compliant vehicle, but hasn't yet paid a penny of the £47,682 they owe.The FOI data showed that £28.5m has been paid in fines.
Brazen 'blade runners' have targeted ULEZ cameras since the expansion of the scheme last year, often using power tools to dismantle cameras in the outer London boroughs. A TfL spokesperson said: “Data shows that more than 95 per cent of vehicles seen in the ULEZ on an average day are ULEZ compliant."It will lead to cleaner air while generating ever smaller net revenues, as has been the case with the previous expansion to inner London where people switched to greener vehicles.This is what happens if you refuse to pay the ULEZ charge
"If a customer receives a penalty charge notice they can pay the penalty at a 50 per cent discount within 14 days, or have up to 28 days to pay the penalty in full, or challenge the PCN by making a representation. "Representations can be made on one of six grounds, and TfL also considers mitigating circumstances and uses its discretion in reaching a decision, including cancelling the fine.We want our comments to be a lively and valuable part of our community - a place where readers can debate and engage with the most important local issues.
