  • The expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) across London can go ahead after the UK’s High Court ruled it lawful.
    The plans had been challenged by opponents to the Mayor of London's bid to charge older, more polluting vehicles a fee to drive through the zone.
    The BBC’s Ros Atkins takes a look at the controversial expansion which will see the zone cover the vast majority of Greater London.

    If 90% of the cars are passable already, why even pass this law? How is this a solution? Let’s tax the poorest people, the ones who can’t afford newer cars more for “air quality”.

    According to the ULEZ vehicle checker, my 2002 model year Volvo V70, producing 229g of CO2 /km is exempt from the ULEZ charge. In contrast, my 2014 model year VW Golf TDI, producing a mere 106g of CO2 / km does not meet ULEZ standards and incurs the £12.50 per day charge. Pure irony.

      There is a reason 50% of Londoners want it. They’re the 50% who get the fumes in their face when they commute walking. Also all revenue goes to public transport. It’s unfortunate that poor people end up having to foot the bill. There should be way more financing support for people who need to buy Ulez compliant cars, even electric cars. Then the only people complaining would be those who refuse to care about others’ health. The idea you can drive into a city center and shit into city dwellers lungs is the epitome of classism, entitlement. I don’t have a car but I inhale more car fumes than the average suburbanite.

      Oh dear. I think the time for that has been and gone. The politician>public>business/media/public services dynamic is like the snake eating its own tail. If the public want politicians to get other orgs, cos and institutions to do anything then they have to fight for it relentlessly. If you don't ask you don't get. Not enough people asked. That's how the world works. It's not easy. It's in a politicians best interests to not broadcast potential problems that they could punt to the next guy and future generations. It's in a politicians best interests to do as little as possible and that's what they've done for years until they had no choice but to act and at this stage they don't care about the complaints of motorists. Moral of story- if international collectives of experts announce warnings that threaten environmental health, human health, mental and societal health, then they are the people to listen to. Parliament are the people to fight on it. Motorists have been asleep at the wheel for decades and missed the opportunity to have their say.

    I think the foreign cities comparison part is just utterly ridiculous, as they all have cheap and effective public transport, something we don't have here in Britain. People in the media of this country and the establishment always make a fine art of talking about how "they're doing it, why aren't WE", they're deluded. We should craft solutions that tailor to our people, not copy and pasting from others. Making driving more expensive BEFORE any hefty investments into public transport is such a stupid thing to do. First invest into public transport to make it wide-ranging and cheap, only then should people be talking about charging £12.80 per day to drive your own car.

When you establish a law in a court you cannot retrospectively apply it to the past it can only be applied to that day forward. So all cars purchased before ULEZ was introduced, are lawfully exempt.

    Im a big supporter of efforts to reduce pollution but I really question whats going to be achieved by the Ulez expansion. All petrol cars built after 2004 are Ulez compliant all diesel cars built after 2016 are Ulez compliant meaning that within a few years hopefully all areas of the country will have Ulez type air quality. What Kahn and the Govt in general need to do is invest heavily in the charging infrastructure so that busineeses and individuals can cope with the 2030 switch when all new cars must be hybrid or zero emission. I also serioiusly question why the Govt and Mayor are wedded to one way of reducing emissions. Why not invest in research into fuels that can run in current engines without causing emissions. The original diesel engine ran on chip fat and all diesel cars built until around the 1990s could have run on it for some reason car manufacturers changed that just as people started to find out it was possible.

    The British environment minister said that wear from brake linings and tyres on the roads may be more harmful than corrosion caused by petrol and diesel cars, due to the size of the battery in electric cars that generate more polluting fine particles.
    "Electric cars are usually about 20 to 30 percent heavier than petrol and diesel cars."
    Batteries for electric cars need rare earth metals such as neodymium, a metal that is used to manufacture magnets with all kinds of electric motors and high-tech devices, making them more difficult to rotate.
    The Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Committee in the British Parliament has summoned Environment Minister George Eustis to question him about steps to reduce polluting particulate matter known as PM2.5.

    Let's be clear: Sadiq Khan's concern for children's health is questionable, given that he has his own kids living in the city with him and drives his heavy Range Rover a short distance for a dog walk. If pollution truly had such severe consequences, causing illnesses like stunted lungs, asthma, and Alzheimer's, and if it were irrefutably established as the cause, we would expect a more substantial response from actual parents demonstrating outside number 10 and emotional pleas on the news.
    It's worth noting that few healthy kids died from the flu, yet many were medicated en masse not too long ago £$€. We're aware that one of Khan's toughest decisions involved buying cameras first and then proceeding with the lucrative ULEZ poor tax despite significant opposition during public consultation, and then implementing it regardless, without alienating the majority and downplaying the minority by influencing the BBC to curtail truthful reporting. This was achieved by categorizing vehicles into "good/new/ who are wealthy people's cars" and "bad/old/who are poor people's cars." The most vulnerable and voiceless individuals, trapped in car debt and ineligible for the impractical scrapping scheme, are the first to bear the burden.
    London's congestion issue persists, enabling those who can afford it to continue driving their ULEZ-compliant Range Rover V8s and 31 mpg 2-liter Jaguars to school because walking is deemed too perilous for the rich peoples kids. Meanwhile, carers, nurses, shift workers, joiners, and plumbers who rely on older, more fuel-efficient 55+ mpg vehicles face penalties due to their "old and bad" classification.
    Interestingly, the London Tube contains toxic particles - dust, metal, skin, and clothing fibers - stirred up by passing trains, and air quality inside carriages is 18 times worse than even the most polluted high streets. Despite this, the mayor and TFL maintain that it's safe, withholding studies on air quality that they commissioned themselves.
    Why not address the dire state of social housing in London, which detrimentally affects children's physical and mental health? Damp, molds, and poor air quality within inadequately insulated housing owned by neglectful landlords and councils leave them unable to afford proper heating. An estimated 3.6 million children bear this burden. If the yearly spike in lung conditions is to be believed, perhaps the real causes are closer to home than his ULEZ poor tax on the vulnerable. The mayor can't profit from issues he ignores, which could very well be the underlying reasons for these illnesses.

    3:05 This literally says NOTHING. It could have so may reasons for that to be the case. 1. Have you ever considered the fact that the people in outer London have to drive into London every day, therefore being on the road for a long time every day, therefore sitting right in the middle of exhaust pipes? That might be a reason GPs in outer London have more to do on asthma. 2. Many people work in central London all their life and move out of London when they’re older, and that’s also the time when they develop and suffer from asthma as a consequence from living in London. I’m sure many people also move out of London as a result of an asthma diagnosis. 3. What is the date of this study even? Could it be very recent reflecting ULEZ already being in place in central London?
    Where is the old BBC that would check all of these angles before bringing to air such poor (and frankly biased-sounding) reporting!??

So in the end the CO² emissions stay the same because the same vehicles are still driving.

You charge working class people including many Labor supporters 12.50 pounds a day for people who drive old cars many more of them are in outer London and you are going to get a voter backlash as a result of that. This is the difference between providing a plan for a cleaner greener enviornment and making the cost of living harder for poorer people.
