Emma is standing against the ill-thought out Londonwide ULEZ extension.
The extension in 2021 to the A406 and South Circular cost Londoners £130million and has seen 1/3 of the vehicles charged as the Mayor forecast. This shows that not only does this punitive charge putting cleaning air quality on the backs of the poorest Londoners and smallest businesses & charities but it was also is a waste of money.
Now, Sadiq Khan has set aside £400m to extend the ULEZ even further and look at the feasibility of road charging.
This money could scrap every single non-compliant car in the Capital. Why waste money on penalising people when we can instead clean London's Air through helping people as opposed to penalising them.
