Conservative Councils Challenge Khan’s Plan to Expand London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone

  • Five boroughs argue the Mayor of London lacks authority to order ULEZ expansion to outer London.
  • The councils claim the decision making process was flawed and did not properly consider impact or consult residents.
  • The ULEZ charges higher polluting vehicles £12.50 a day to drive in London, aiming to improve air quality.
  • An independent study found only marginal benefits to air quality from expanding the ULEZ beyond inner London.
  • The High Court will determine whether the ULEZ can expand as planned or requires reconsultation.
