£12.50 daily charge a 'joke' as public react to ULEZ expansion across London

Send us details of how it will affect you at the bottom of this story

Opinions were very split when news broke of the expansion, with some calling the scheme a"bloody joke" and asking"why should we pay?"One person said:"So I'm now without a car then. Cannot afford a new one and cannot afford the charge. Can't take public transport as I have too many things to carry."

However, not everyone minds the new scheme, sharing that they hope it will help improve air quality in the capital, as one person shared:"Great idea, cleaner air for the children". Plus, car owners can opt to receive a smaller grant accompanied by up to two free annual bus and tram passes, which would give them a higher financial package.🍃 If you or your family spend time in a high-polluting car, you are at the most risk of toxic air. Greener alternatives aren't just healthier for other people - they're healthier for you too.
