BREAKING: Five Conservative-led councils have lost their High Court challenge against Mayor of London Sadiq Khan’s plans to expand the capital’s ultra-low emission zone (Ulez).
The judge added that, having ‘carefully considered’ the consultation process, he was satisfied that enough information was given for people who wished to respond to provide ‘informed responses’.What is the ultra-low emission zone ?
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan is planning to expand the city’s ultra-low emission zone to all boroughs.– When and why was ULEZ– How bad is air quality in the capital? An estimated 4,000 Londoners die prematurely each year from conditions related to air pollution, according to Mr Khan.It disincentivises drivers from using the most polluting vehicles by charging them a daily fee for entering the zone.The charge for vehicles which do not comply with minimum emissions standards is £12.50 for cars, smaller vans and motorbikes.
Lorries, buses, coaches and heavy vans which are non-compliant are charged £100 under the separate low emission zone scheme, which already covers most of London.Ensure your vehicle meets the minimum emissions standards.Most diesel cars registered after September 2015 are also exempt from the charge.– How soon after a journey do I need to pay?– Where does the money go?
Transport for London says all revenue is reinvested into running and improving the capital’s transport network, such as expanding bus routes in outer London.You may receive a penalty charge notice of £160, reduced to £80 for early payment.It includes everywhere within the North and South Circular roads.Mr Khan’s plan is to make the zone much larger, covering all London boroughs from August 29.
