, the Ultra Low Emission Zone, to cover the whole of Greater London, with owners of the most polluting vehicles required to pay a charge of £12.50 each day they are driven in the capital.
And the inclusion of e-cargo bikes within the offers also counters another myth commonly deployed against active travel initiatives – that tradespeople can’t be expected to function without a van . London, of course, is not the only UK city that has a clean air zone, or is preparing to launch one, and until recently opposition whether in the capital or elsewhere has comprised a mixture of local councillors, concerned residents worried about how the charge might affect them , and a small but very visible and highly vocal bunch of what might charitably be termed conspiracy theory crackpots.
One story that did the rounds after that recent by-election was that a local resident doorstepped by a Labour campaigner was worried about having to pay the charge, which they assumed was the case given what they had read in Tory campaign literature. The car that person owned? A Tesla.
