Conservatives Pledge to Roll Back ULEZ Expansion and Support Drivers
The proposed 'Backing Drivers Bill' aims to reverse London's ULEZ expansion, introduce local referendums on traffic measures, and prevent new road pricing schemes.
- The Tories plan to scrap the extended Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in Greater London if re-elected.
- Local referendums would be required for new low traffic neighbourhoods and 20mph zones.
- The bill seeks to halt any future pay-per-mile road tax proposals.
- The policy is part of a broader strategy to appeal to car owners and counter Labour's traffic policies.
- Critics argue the move is a desperate political tactic lacking substantive solutions for drivers.
