The ULEZ scheme was first introduced in a bid to improve air quality in and around London and reduce the number of deaths due to air pollution. From August, the scheme is due to expand to all London boroughs and will mean drivers will need to pay a daily charge (£12.50) to enter Greater London and the city border up to Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent and Surrey. According to TfL (Transport for London), most vehicles in the capital are ULEZ compliant but the Mayor of London is worried about low-income families. Therefore, anyone receiving child benefit and small businesses will now be able to apply for financial support. To find out more about ULEZ and check if your car is compliant, please visit https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emission-zone/cars.
