Days ahead of the controversial expansion of London's road charging scheme for the most polluting vehicles, businesses in the British
Days ahead of the controversial expansion of London’s road charging scheme for the most polluting vehicles, businesses in the British capital remain wary despite the mayor unveiling further subsidies.
Around 40 of those based in the suburbs — where the scheme is being expanded to — believe it will increase their costs, it found. Meanwhile, every Londoner will now be eligible for grants of up to £2,000 to scrap their non-compliant vehicle.Largesse comes at a cost: the mayor’s budget for the bonus has jumped by £50 million, and now stands at £160 million.
In France, a number of political groupings, drivers’ associations and professional organisations have voiced their opposition to the zones introduced in or proposed for several cities. That surprise result is seen as having big potential implications for the fate of other environmental policies, as net-zero and clean air targets collide with the more short-term priorities of increasingly cash-strapped voters.Facing sustained criticism over various aspects of the ULEZ expansion, Khan’s office has insisted that drivers compensated for scrapping their vehicles will be able to choose from “thousands” of compliant replacements available for sale.
But the RAC motoring group said drivers in and around the capital “could easily end up having to pay £12.50 daily ULEZ charges for quite some time”.
