No wonder these cameras are being town down or damaged citywide. It sounds like a typical bureaucratic fuster cluck.

Self-employed and employed drivers can claim tax relief on clean air charges, including the in London, so what incentive do they have to cut their toxic emissions?
Are you happy to subsidise them?

Will they also be expected to be impartial between those who vandalise cameras related to and those who take part in activity? If so how will react and who will support?

No for me this week as I was supporting the start of a new class being run at . 'Twas nice to have a 9:45 start as well, so a bit more of a lie in . Plan is to alternate Saturdays between parkrun and Nordic Walking.
On a different note, it was nice to get a warning before I set off 🚙

Also, the people who are particularly vociferous about (as opposed to people who are just mildly annoyed at having to spend more money) are claiming to have a right to make the air poisonous, which they don't

If you happen to drive into the Ulez zone from Hertfordshire, I suggest that you threaten the Tory-controlled county council with legal action for refusing to allow warning signs on its territory.

Those of us who live in the county can do without such pointless political posturing on the taxpayer groat. It's not big, and it certainly isn't clever.

Sick to death of hearing about . I have a 13 year old petrol car, it’s ULEZ exempt.

This would only affect you if you’re the owner of a shit car or you’re a Tory piece of shit.

@dash Hey, I just got round to checking, and TfL's scrappage scheme not only do they allow people to spend the scrappage grant money on anything, they even have a higher-value option that includes an Annual Bus and Tram pass! So, they give a direct incentive to not replace your car with another car, which I think meets both your criteria:

Do the residents of east London present an exception to this rule? I have to ask, given Khan's promotion of the .

This is interesting on impacts. Some of it I think likely applies to , too, especially how they become more popular once they're implemented:

@agvbergin Tend to agree with this. I think it's important to see as 1) a first step and 2) as part of a package of reforms. E.g., opponents of like to claim (with or without evidence!) that more cars taking more circuitous routes will lead to higher emissions, and having a ULEZ somewhat addresses that argument

I do lean towards better funding for scrappage schemes, but also... we've known cars are dangerous and polluting for decades. I kind of think if you're still driving one around just because it's personally convenient to you, it's kind of on you at this point
