The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has insisted he has a mandate from Londoners to expand the city’s ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) despite not including the move in his 2020 manifesto. In a clash with Conservative assembly members on the issue during Mayor’s Question Time at City Hall this morning, (Thursday, June 22), Mr Khan was also accused of “rushing” the policy through before the next mayoral election in May 2024, and not wanting to give Londoners a say.

    I do drive and I also welcome the ULEZ expansion.

    The ULEZ is not a burden - it’s the bare minimum. I don’t even need to think about it because my car isn’t >16 years old (and if it was, I would seize the opportunity to accept some of this grant money they’re doling out to people with old cars who want to replace them with something newer and cleaner).
