Do you support the ULEZ expansion?

[icecream99]

Just curious as it is due to start at midnight tonight and could potentially cause a lot of chaos. I don't support it.

YANBU - I DON'T support ULEZ expansion

YABU - I DO support ULEZ expansion

This! I'm frankly astonished as to how many people still don't know what C40 Cities actually is.

@MavisMcMinty If the world is burning why haven't we banned private jets?

I voted yabu, despite the fact I no longer have skin in the game. Nevertheless, a decade ago I used to visit London for business weekly. Not to put too fine a point on it, it stank.

Walking up Greys in Road was unbearable for me (asthma and copd). I'm not, in the slightest surprised that the little girl died because she had the temerity to walk to school while being asthmstic.

I don't support it because I know it is nothing to do with pollution.
The exapnsion is so wide, and many of the areas in the Greater London outer zone are very rural, with very limited public transport.
It will affect mostly, small business users (builders and tradesmen), who for obvious reasons cannot take public transport (taking tools, ladders, etc).
Also, Bexley and Bromley do not have any undergound services at all.
We know that the lockdown more or less caused TfL to go bankrupt, as they had to run some buses and underground for those who were travelling into work, but they were mostly near empty.
This is really a money making exercise, and the camers will eventually be used for road pricing.

@FinallyHere isnt that because your car has higher dangerous emissions that your DH’s?

My compliant car is worth less than my pram, age isn’t the issue as such it’s more the amount of pollutants.

I barely know anyone whose car isn’t compliant, seems to me outer Londoners are screaming harder about this.

I do think it has been poorly rolled out and should have been delayed due to COL, but I suspect that the timing was a Tory condition.

I support it. I live in inner London.

Yep, that’s exactly what NK does. It officially discourages NK citizens from driving especially old and filthy cars into the middle of big cities that have loads of public transit.

Idiot.

Wait until the Blackwall tunnel toll comes hits in 2025 that’ll help Kahn’s bank balance 🤬🤬

Sadiq won't get much money from all those thousands of londoners who don't own a car, - a lot of conspiracy nonsense out there

Because our politicians are all cowards who think the people arriving here on private jets are better than those people arriving here on small boats.

No, I absolutely do not support ULEZ it's dystopian. Many scientists stating that climate is fine, my grandparents have lived inner London their whole lives and have said the air quality has never been better. Its a cash cow!!!

Do you think I’m Sadiq Khan?

The scheme targets older more polluting cars. Yes these are often driven by poorer people who have fewer means to replace them.

I suppose it depends on what you deem as an old car, some are only plated 2015 and cars have never been so clean. The underground shows higher levels of pollution than roadside air.

100% support. And I live, work and drive inside it.

@LittleBearPad No. You are someone who thinks targeting poor people and destroying their livelihoods is ok but that if they have a non-compliant car and are wealthier and can afford £12.50 a day they can just carry on polluting.

Could it just possibly be that the air quality has never been better due to the ULEZ that has now been operating for several years in Inner London.

Just a thought?

Should they have a scheme like this imposed on them though, when they do not get to vote for the London administration? It's not very democratic.

No because reports have already shown that the original ULEZ has had a negligible impact.

The evidence is that the effect on air quality will be negligible.

Where have I said that? Please share.

@MavisMcMinty So why don't we all band together and force the rich to curtail their excessive lifestyles instead of targeting the local elderly lady or window cleaner for having the audacity to drive an old car? I would get fully behind a campaign to ban private jets, second homes and private heated pools. But harassing poor people for trying to get to their jobs - nah, I'm just not into that.
