ULEZ, none of us want poor air quality.

It's extremely cynical. |

Of course it's a con - a way to increase revenue on the back of the green/climate change/environment bandwagon.

Some people feel better believing it's a con like any conspiracy theory peddled by a far right site like the one linked. If councils, governments , the deep state/BBC |

It is frustrating for sure, effectively prevents me from taking my Skoda Octavia to work instead I have to take the FFRR which seems backwards!

It’s won’t reduce pollution by any meaningful degree (see the impact assessment), and normal replacement of the vehicle fleet means its proposed format will be entirely irrelevant in about three years. Maybe there’s another reason to spend hundreds of millions of pounds to install and run a London-wide ANPR network? |

Anything that can be taxed eventually gets used as a con, because the wrong people get hold of it and exploit it to their advantage. Happens all the while and others get sucked in and believe the hype.

I have my doubts that the extended area to the M25 will be as beneficial as the earlier zones and such a boundary is crude as it covers less dense areas and even rural areas when the significant pollution problem is in dense urban areas. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

The earlier zones weren’t beneficial either, they have just taken the credit for the normal replacement of vehicles by less polluting ones, bus fleet finally cleaned up etc. |

they should be tackling the shocking toxic air levels in the tube system, that is probably killing more people every year than at street level - especially those that commute 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour back, absolutely incredible that TfL can get away with such double standards |

It can't be that much of a head scratcher surely? Penalising the most polluting diesel vehicles to discourage them being used in highly populated areas.......how is that a bad thing? Passive smoking but with diesel particulates......

This is not conspiracy theory stuff, but watch the video on the link below for Khan's future plans, this is not rumour, this is the next step Khan and his cronies want to implement, again, without proven figures, without hard facts, plans like the ones in the video are the one you expect to see from China not in a democratic country. Some people will claim that these plans are ok, but the wording is so ambiguous as to be dangerous, once again Khan is trying introduce plans via the back door and this does not bode well for the future, it's scary to think about what Khan will want next.
