Sadiq Khan’s Ulez expansion ‘failed to lower pollution levels’
Sadiq Khan’s Ulez expansion to outer London failed to lower pollution levels, a report has found. Bromley Council measured no “overall lowering in pollution” in the months after the mayor expanded his £12.50 daily charge zone to cover the whole city last year. It found that in November last year, three months after the Ulez expansion, levels of pollutant nitrogen dioxide were higher across all the borough’s 32 air quality monitoring locations than they were in the preceding August. However, when comparing the data with 2022, the report concluded: “What cannot be seen at present is an overall lowering in pollution levels that can be directly attributed to the implementation of Ulez in outer London.” The report added that the pollution levels in 2022 it compared its recent data with may have been artificially suppressed by the after-effects of Covid restrictions.
