The public in Edenbridge voted for Mr Khan because of the unpopularity of extending the Ulez scheme.
Boos rang out among the crowd in Edenbridge as the 11m high figure became the latest celebrity guy, picked by the public, to be demolished by a mixture of gunpowder and flames – along with a traditional Guy Fawkes.
Edenbridge Bonfire Society , which has organised celebrity effigies for 25 years, said it aims to bring a “light-hearted twist” to the annual celebrations, which raise thousands of pounds for local charities and community groups.Credit: Gareth Fuller/PA Bill Cummings, the EBS chairman, said: “Unlike those living inside the new extended zone, there is no support for people who live outside it but whose livelihoods and commitments have been greatly affected by this decision.”
