A bid for those who had already replaced vehicles to be offered financial help is voted against.
A bid to allow Londoners to make retrospective Ulez scrappage applications has been voted down.eight days prior to the expansion of the Ulez charging zone to include all of London.
It comes as Transport for London said it had issued "thousands" of enforcement notices to drivers of non-compliant vehicles. A spokesperson added: "We are using the opportunity to remind drivers of the extensive support available such as scrappage grants, and to point people to our Auto Pay system, which is the easiest way to ensure they are not caught out unnecessarily."On the scrappage scheme, the BBC has spoken to a number of people who say they had already replaced their older vehicles before the Ulez expanded, so they missed out on the financial assistance.
The £160m scrappage scheme is still available for all Londoners yet to replace vehicles to make a claim from going forward, with a maximum of £2,000 being offered per vehicle.
