Londoners will not see data about the impact of expanding Ulez in outer London before the May vote.
Sadiq Khan has been accused of concealing the real impact of expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone from voters ahead of the mayoral election.
In a new report, the mayor claimed that since he was elected in 2016, air quality had improved faster in London than the rest of the country - with Ulez a big factor. But City Hall said the monthly average nitrogen dioxide roadside concentrations came down sharply after that time thanks to Mr Khan's policies including improvements in the bus fleet and preparations for Ulez.
"For example, there was a nine-month period between the inner Ulez London expansion and the publication of the six-month on report ."The figures are likely to show a negligible impact on pollution, the Conservatives sayfound that extending Ulez to outer London would have a "minor" impact on exposure to nitrogen dioxide pollution and a "negligible" impact on carbon emissions, one of the main agents of climate change.
"He was told from the beginning that it would have a negligible effect on air quality, but he didn't listen," she said.
