Is this the same group of people that leave hundreds of tons of rubbish, plastic bottles and tents at festivals around the country. Yeah they really care about the planet! |

The way he is trying to railroad this into existence is so wrong, I understand we do need to change things but giving people and business's less than a years notice is unreasonable. Many who have uncompliant vehicles are police officers, NHS staff Fire Brigade staff and other public service workers like transport who live just outside the affected areas but the only way to get to work because they work unsocial hours is to drive. Normal working people are struggling at the moment with the cost of living crisis and energy prices, so having to replace their perfectly good EU5 diesel is just not an option. I myself had to change my motorcycle a couple of years back with the last ULEZ extension. it was a 2006 model, owned from new and had only 13,000 miles on it. It cost me £5,500 to change it just to carry on visiting the same places and people. I also read recently that many of the replies (some 5000+) to the consultation were not included in the final count because they were from small business and motoring groups. 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. |

Apologies in advance to anyone not interested and it is a bit long winded, but for me it was a very interesting watch. I have my opinion on this but respect you may have a different take on it. For what its worth, I think this isn't just a London issue but is coming to a City near you, if, in this case, it's in down to one single minded individual which I feel is wrong.

Didn’t look comfortable did he? How many times did he say “I, as decision maker”

you only have to look at his body language to see how dishonest he is, why hasn't there been an inquiry into how this man operates, and also the repeated named affiliates in the council, far too much power for one man, absolute power corrupts |

He was just as evasive when questioned by local BBC news. And he reckons he’s going to stand in the next Mayoral elections |

I wonder how many people now regret voting to have a mayor of London in the first place. |

Doesn't matter if people voted to have a Mayor in the first place or not - one would have been forced on you same as happened elsewhere when the people rejected the idea in other areas... go democracy |

Directly Elected Mayors were brought in because people complained that the original 'Committee' System never took Hard Decisions, now unfortunately they do. I do note that London seems to have been unlucky with their choice of 'Directly Elected' Mayors, but you must have voted for all three. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directly_elected_mayors_in_England As has been said, this is not a 'London Only' problem, although in Bristol we are getting rid of the Mayor, and going back to the old system. (We have had our own Cycle Lane Problem, and Resident's Parking) But just as we thought we were free, we now have a Regional Elected Mayor, and now the start of a fresh TAX ??, it seems non-electric cars are to have a surcharge when parking in Bath. https://www.bathecho.co.uk/news/politics/p...ns-101026/ FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011) FL2 Metropolis SD4 Auto 2014 2017- (16k - 77k+ miles) (MY2015) Metro in its 11th Year of (Extended) LR Warranty / Full LR Service History (Expensive, but Trouble/Worry free - hopefully?) |

As far as I recall we had referenda about city mayors in the rest of the country after the London Mayoralty was established - I seem to remember that only one city voted for a mayoralty - they were imposed despite those emphatic NO votes

HM Govt have it seems been asked to step in and overrule Khan on the grounds that he’s overstepped his powers in looking to extend the ULEZ.
