Good to sit down with the South West Londoner recently to discuss some of the many holes in the Mayor of London’s plans to expand ULEZ to Carshalton and Wallington, and just a couple of the things my Conservative colleagues and I are doing to try and put a stop to them.
We need to encourage people to live greener lifestyles instead of just punishing them for not being able to afford one.
Some of the key points from the interview:
- “It is inevitable the charge will massively impact those on the lowest salaries or no salary at all because it is targeting those oldest vehicles which people may not be able to afford upgrading to ULEZ compliant vehicles.”
- “Conservative MPs are working our way through the legal framework of both the devolution settlement to City Hall and also what options we might have over the course of the next few months.”
- “I know the resolve of the Conservative boroughs is very strong. If the boroughs wanted to make a stand, they could make it very difficult for TfL to install this.”
