Not only will an expanded ULEZ have huge financial implications for those living and working in outer London, but independent reports have shown that the impact on air quality is "negligible". What is the real purpose of Sadiq Khan's proposed expansion? I discussed this issue on Talk TV:
Pleased to see outer London Boroughs - including Bexley and Bromley - win this first stage of the Judicial Review process. This is really good news for hard working people across Bexley and Bromley. Well done to those council leaders who pushed this.
During People's Question Time in Ealing, Sadiq Khan was unsurprisingly asked about the ULEZ expansion. In his answer, he described those who oppose the ULEZ expansion as far-right conspiracy theorists. This is completely unacceptable and unprofessional.
On Thursday 23 February, I presented our plan to help Londoners with the cost of living, which included strategies to improve air quality without placing an unjustifiable tax on the poorest.
I am pleased to say that Bexley, Bromley, Harrow, Hillingdon and Surrey have today brought legal action following TfL's announcement that it would push on with Sadiq Khan's plans to expend the ULEZ scheme despite all the opposition. For further details please see articles below:
At an event which focussed on the financial pressures facing Londoners, Sadiq Khan came under further pressure to consider the impact his proposed ULEZ expansion will have on road users.
Following the discovery of documents that show London Mayor Sadiq Khan was briefed on the ongoing results of the ULEZ consultation - despite his insistence that he had no knowledge until the final report - I asked him why he misled the London Assembly.
New documents released today have exposed Sadiq Khan's false and dishonest statements to the London Assembly. In the video, watch Sadiq Khan telling me repeatedly that he had no knowledge of the results of the TfL consultation on the ULEZ expansion. We now know that this was not the case.
