London Mayoral Race Heats Up Over ULEZ Expansion

Conservative candidate Susan Hall promises to scrap ULEZ expansion, while incumbent Sadiq Khan pledges no further expansion if re-elected.

  • Susan Hall launches her mayoral campaign with a focus on scrapping the ULEZ expansion, boosting housebuilding, and removing low traffic neighborhoods.
  • Sadiq Khan pledges not to expand the ULEZ scheme if re-elected, focusing instead on improving air quality through other measures.
  • Recent polling suggests Hall is significantly trailing Khan in the mayoral race, with Khan leading by about 26 points.
  • Prime Minister Rishi Sunak criticizes Khan's performance, accusing him of failing on crime, housing, and imposing excessive taxes on motorists.
  • Khan's commitment to not introduce a pay-per-mile scheme or tighten ULEZ emissions standards is met with skepticism by Hall, who accuses him of being dishonest with Londoners.
