Sadiq Khan is being taken to court over his plan to expand the ultra low emission zone (Ulez) to tackle London’s air pollution. The expansion will lead to thousands more motorists in London liable to pay a £12.50 levy every day.
‘This isn’t so much about Sadiq. It’s about public health in London – it must go ahead’.
The mayor has been accused of acting beyond his powers by varying the current Ulez regulations in order to expand the scheme, and or ‘acting irrationally’ in how he set up a £110 million scrappage scheme for people to trade in their cars.Opponents say they cannot afford the £12.50 charge amidst the cost of living crisis
If the policy is not struck down in court, opponents are hoping it will become a key issue at the by-election in Uxbridge and South Ruislip on July 20.July 4 is also the day voting opens for Conservative party members in London to choose their mayoral candidate.Get in touch with our news team by emailing us at
