Anti-Ulez Activists Block Enforcement Cameras in Sutton, London

In a coordinated protest, activists obstructed Ulez enforcement cameras across Sutton, challenging the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone.

Around 400 protesters participated in a demonstration in Sutton, London, to oppose the Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) expansion by obstructing over 80 enforcement cameras.
The protest aimed to allow motorists with non-compliant vehicles to drive through Sutton without facing the usual £12.50 daily charge.
Activists argue that the Ulez expansion imposes financial burdens on residents, especially during a cost of living crisis, and fear it could lead to a pay-per-mile road charging scheme.
The Mayor of London's office and Transport for London have not yet responded to the protest, but police reported that the demonstration passed peacefully with no arrests made.
Critics of the Ulez expansion, including mayoral candidate Susan Hall, claim it has a negligible effect on air quality and accuse the mayor of misleading the public about its benefits.
