Judge clears the way for ULEZ extension

London Mayor Sadiq Khan has been granted the green light to forge ahead with his plan to extend the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) from the 29th of August.   The ruling came after five Conservative-led councils, including Hillingdon, mounted a High Court challenge against the proposed expansion.   From next month, motorists operating the most polluting vehicles in the capital will be required to pay a £12.50 per day fee to drive within its boundaries.   #ulez #ultralowemissionzone #highcourt #challenge #airpollution #airquality #scrappagescheme #climatecrisis #cleanerair #smallbusiness #smallbusinesses #outerlondon Read the full article

The Mayor of London, has announced that he will expand the ULEZ London-wide from 29/08/2023.   In a joint statement from Hillingdon, Harrow, Bexley and Croydon councils, Hillingdon Council Leader, Cllr Ian Edwards, said: “Hillingdon remains vehemently opposed to these half-baked plans and we will do everything in our power to stop it from going ahead.”   The four councils have resolved to work together to resist its implementation by using all means at their disposal.   #hillingdon #ulez #ultralowemissionzone #airpollution #climateemergency #congestion Read the full article

Council encourages residents to have their say on ULEZ expansion plans

Hillingdon Council is encouraging residents, and those who work and travel through the borough, to respond to the Mayor of London's consultation on the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to all of Greater London including Hillingdon.      The proposal would impact those least able to replace older, non-compliant cars adding to their financial worry at a time when wages are not keeping up with price. For those that cannot afford a new car their mobility will be taken away as Hillingdon does not have the public transport services of central London.      In a statement, Hillingdon Council said that it is very concerned at the damage this proposal would cause to local businesses and services. Not only would it deter shoppers from neighbouring areas, local employers, including the council, rely on a wide catchment of valued workforces which live in neighbouring counties. These workers could face a daily charge just for entering the borough which would greatly harm local recruitment and retention of staff and public services would likely suffer as a result.    This consultation is open until Friday 29 July.   What do you think?
