@IslingtonBC Ulez charge is £15 a day, Islington council charging £56 pound a day based on parking 8 hours for compliant vehicles is that even legal, once you add the parking charge on top of surcharge that's over a £100 to park a day
@IslingtonBC Trades people can't drive around Islington because of road and ltn closures, results less productivity for trades, traffic jams on every road, how to stiffle business put people in charge who have no clue how to run buisnesses, parking £14 a hour, thats more than the minimum wage
@IslingtonBC Rip of Islington council, charging £7.05 a hour diesel surcharge for parking, on diesel compliant vehicles,closing roads and making journeys 3 to 4 times longer, hows that better for emissions?
Islington council ripping off motorists with their extortionate parking charges, if you own a compliant diesel vehicle you have to pay a £7.05 surcharge per hour if you park for 8 hrs the surcharge cost is £56.40 not including the parking cost, it cost me £29 for two hours
Myth: according to @MayorofLondon, poor people don't drive, so won't be impacted by ULEZ expansion.
Reality: in outer London, over half of the most deprived households own a car (see below). They are disproportionately likely to own older cars which are not ULEZ compliant.
@willnorman@LBofHounslow What a load of bs, so you have compounded traffic and there is no air pollution, which means vehicles are not the problem then, because the vehicles are still there
Sadiq's ULEZ charges are just a revenue generation ruse under the guise of environmentalism. Tube travellers suffer illegal levels of pollution that are higher than on the streets above. Sadiq is responsible for the TfL. What is he doing to protect tube travellers lungs?
@TheFox89688362 The little wealth that we had as working citizens have all been transferred to govt through higher taxes and to energy giants via exorbitant energy tariffs. The situation looks very bleak, even for the vast majority of people who are gainfully employed.
@duncanshrubsole They may work in small, congested areas with high levels of air pollution and high% of non-compliant cars, eg. central London in 2017.
Outer London in 2023 is none of those things, so it's no surprise that ULEZ won't work
The pollution is being created by the London Mayor and his Labour cronies and backed up with his lies and corrupted data. The whole purpose is to fill coffers and nothing to do with clean air
Reminds me of that time he said he didn't know the ULEZ consultation results and hadn't made his mind up.
But then FOIs revealed that he'd had the results 2 months earlier and already given the nod to the general direction of the report.
