Ecowatch - To reduce traffic emissions in the City of London, Mayor Sadiq Khan has expanded London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone, which imposes a daily charge on the vehicles that pollute most, to the entire city. The new zone will make the air cleaner for an additional five million people, as well as reduce carbon emissions by an expected nearly 30,000 tons in London’s outer boroughs, a press release from the Greater London Authority said.
“This is a landmark day for our city which will lead to a greener, healthier London for everyone,” Khan said in the press release. “The decision to expand the ULEZ London-wide was a difficult one, but necessary to save lives, protect children’s lungs and help prevent asthma, dementia and other health issues.”.... Londoners who have non-compliant cars are eligible for two thousand pounds for scrapping their vehicle or one thousand pounds for scrapping their motorcycle. Charities and small businesses can get increased grant payments as well. Exemptions have been made for wheelchair accessible vehicles and disabled people until October of 2027.
