Sadiq Khan faces growing backlash over plans to extend the ultra-low emission zone to all of Greater London, with City Hall Conservatives describing the potential positive impact as “negligible”.
With the public consultation on the plans coming to an end on Friday, City Hall has released new figures showing that five million people in London’s suburbs would be breathing cleaner air as a result of the extension of the ULEZ to all of Greater London.
But a TfL paper published earlier this month found that the zone’s initial expansion to the northern and southern ring roads in October last year had had a “limited” impact on pollution levels, casting doubt on the potential impact of further expansion. .
