ULEZ expansion across London has come into force amid a wave of controversy of Hertfordshire residents
Many readers would likely agree with the policy’s headline aims: to prevent unnecessary deaths caused by toxic air and help tackle climate change. But there is currently a feeling, particularly in the Home Counties, that it has been rammed through with little thought for the collateral damage.So, what can be done? The obvious start is extending the scrappage scheme to Hertfordshire. It seems blatantly unfair not to help local people when so many work or have family in London.
Hopefully common sense prevails. But ultimately, it will require London’s mayor not to ignore the plight of people who can’t vote for him.
