A pensioner from Essex is facing having to pay £150 a year to visit his parents' graves in the zone.
Stuart Woodroffe, 69, from Coggeshall, near Colchester, makes monthly visits to the cemetery inside the ULEZ zone where his parents Betty and Jack are buried.
"Businesses trading with London are going to have to pay the costs, they are going to have to absorb the costs and possibly reduce what they pay staff," he said. "We have staff [that live in the zone] who cannot afford to upgrade their vehicles. There's a good chance of us losing three or four staff who have been with us for years."Image caption,Jon Fuller, of south east Essex Friends of the Earth and lives in Southend, said ULEZ was vital in the fight for cleaner air.
