The ULEZ zones are improving air quality within cities and making the government a load of cash.

For those not aware, these are the words of the Transport minister during a parliamentary debate on the subject and how this corrupt mayor we are stuck with is doing as he want's and ignoring the democratic rights of those that opposed the expansion which was a majority vote against.

You have asserted that there was a majority vote against.

My quote was based on the result of the online consultation (reported locally I think) that was set up and then duly ignored. I can't remember the exact figures but it was something like 57% against and 43% for.

excessive use of Traffic lights and bus lanes in town/city centres cause more smoke and fuel waste than a decent road through. I live in Scotland and a trip to Edinburgh involves drive to tram terminal car park, walk in rain across next car park full of disabled spaces that are rarely used , wait for tram , get on and travel stop//start , stop/start amongst other wet coats and bags until last stop above the waverly station, walk down in the rain to outside the waverly , get a taxi up to the library where i hope to get my paperwork out of my bag still dry. To return home al the same nonsense in reverse. All because of the nightmare of trying to park in Edinburgh. Then to go to Glasgow, drive in on M8 , turn off junction 16, drive down to John Lewis car park in minutes , get out of car go shopping or your business!! To travel to Glasgow Forte like a new town centre shopping job just turn off M8 two minutes later get out of car and go shopping!! Again , to go to Gaelic School in Glasgow drive in on M8 or M74 turn off junction for SECC, follow sat nav for 5 to 10 minutes depending on buslanes and traffic , pull into school and park and go do your business. Edinburgh that is full of car haters has a dying high street shopping business and just living on tourists. Glasgow that has bulldozed the M8,M74,M77 through the middle of the city keeps things moving much better and the city alive!! |

I was reading on Wednesday about the 4 London borough's that are opposing the ULEZ expansion and how they could halt his plans. Its all down to who owns the roads, Khan only has about 5%, this means he has to seek their permission to install cameras, signage and road markings. 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep

That’s interesting Milo, not seen that. Which boroughs are we talking about? Central ones would screw up Khans plans whereas you can imagine it they’re ones on the outskirts he’d simply attempt to re-draw the ULEZ boundary line |

Although this thread started as an attack on the London Mayors, I believe that traffic congestion and the half-hearted attempts, over the last few decades, to solve it, is a national problem.

I think I read it in the online version of the Evening Standard Sid, the four councils are Hillingdon, Harrow, Croydon and Bexley. 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep 2013 SD4 HSE The posh one for towing the caravan 1973 Triumph Stag I bought in 2009 and restored. |

I can't disagree, something has to be done but your last paragraph highlights exactly why this clown with a personal vendetta against anyone trying to get to work etc to make ends meet and care for their families has got to go. Anyone with an ounce of common sense will agree this is not the correct time to impose such hardship on business and the poorer section of the community, with such short notice. 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep 2013 SD4 HSE The posh one for towing the caravan 1973 Triumph Stag I bought in 2009 and restored. |

Thanks. That’s interesting as the present zone pretty much includes all of Greenwich then runs into Bexley. I’m in that outer-zone part of Greenwich and Bexley then starts about 1/2 mile along the road. |
