The UK's biggest union says ULEZ expansion should be delayed. Do you agree?
The Ultra Low Emission Zone is set to expand to cover outer London from 29 AugustThe UK's biggest union Unite has called on London's mayor to halt the expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone .
A City Hall spokesman said the mayor "recognises that some people will need support moving to cleaner vehicles". Unite has 20,000 members based at the airport, which is the biggest employer on a single site in the UK. Heathrow Airport, which lies within the planned extended zone, says it is worried by the expansion. It provides free parking permits to 30,000 employees.
"Prices are going down, lots of people are selling and there's too much demand for second hand cars that are compliant."
