More support is also being given to small businesses, charities and those with disabilities
It comes after Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer urged the Labour mayor to "reflect" on the Ulez expansion following the party's by-election loss in Uxbridge in July.
He added he was "not prepared to step back, delay or water-down vital green policies like Ulez, which will not only save lives and protect children's lungs by cleaning up our polluted air but help us to fight the climate crisis".Small businesses and sole traders will be able to scrap three vans or minibuses in addition to increasing retrofit payments from £5,000 to £6,000
"If I am elected Mayor, I will reverse this disastrous policy and replace it with a £50m fund to reduce air pollution without taxing people." Some people living outside of London who may need to travel into the capital for reasons such as work are still concerned about the cost of replacing their vehicles, as they are not eligible to claim money from the scrappage scheme.Surrey and Essex county councils have already said they will ban Ulez signage on their land.
