It's easy to been green when you are middle class.
This is a tax on the poor and less well off who can't afford a new car. I live just off the south circular, 2021 it will mean I can drive to work but I can't drive to Tesco what is five minutes away. I consider myself lucky because I will be just outside the zone.
This is Khan's poll tax on wheels and when it is extended in 2021 it will catch out millions of people and the backlash will be massive. People will still be able to drive along the north and south circular roads so expect them to be clogged up and any roads that are outside ULEZ.
I am sure when people buy cars to meet the standard and revenue drops the goal posts will be moved to keep the revenues up. TFL has massive debts and for this reason, the scheme was brought forward from 2026, it is estimated it will raise between £750 million to £1.5 billion when the zone is extended to the north and south circular roads. |
