The controversial ultra low emissions zone will now be extended to London's borders with Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey - with drivers of non-compliant vehicles charged £12.50 a day.
The expansion of Sadiq Khan's controversial ultra low emissions zone will come into force on Tuesday despite facing a number of political hurdles.- which charges motorists £12.50 a day if their car does not comply with emissions standards - will cover every London borough and not just the city centre, as was the case previously.
Speaking ahead of the new zone coming into force, Mr Khan said it was a"landmark day for our city which will lead to a greener, healthier London for everyone". "It's thanks to the ULEZ that we are now set to get London's air to within legal limits in the next couple of years, 184 years earlier than previously projected," he said.
