Low emission zone extended for London

HUNDREDS of thousands more drivers face a daily fee of £12.50 for using London’s roads after mayor Sadiq Khan announced he will expand a pollution charge zone to boost air quality. Mr Khan said extending the ultra-low emission zone to cover the whole of the capital from August 29 next year is “one of the toughest decisions I’ve taken”. The scheme, which operates at all times except Christmas Day, is currently limited to the area within the North and South Circular roads.
