yes they would be exempt but the light replacers would be paid to enter the city.
Khant argue with that

2013 announced. Last minute apathy eh.
Many (angry gammons) still foolishly beleive the origins of ULEZ is a Khan concept.
2013? I’m talking about the expansion ten years later.
Khans, idea. He admits it. Why are you covering for him?
Introducing Ulez was my hardest decision as mayor of London – but now we know its astonishing impact | Sadiq Khan
Critics said I was attacking motorists. It’s more important for me that the city’s children are no longer breathing dangerous levels of pollution, says London mayor Sadiq Khan

None of it was kept a secret from Londoners.
ULEZ was Boris Johnsons idea and would have happened in London in one form or another and was talked about for decades.
Perhaps mottie thinks ULEZ was kept a secret from Londoners and that things like the scrappage scheme was only offered to lizards?
I’ve said before, nothing wrong with it in actual London but there was no need for it in the outer London suburbs. Purely and simply a cash grab by Khan. Feck all to do with Boris.
The ULEZ expansion, completely khans idea, was announced in November '22 and took place in August '23.
Plenty of time you say? Don’t make me laugh!
ULEZ: Charges and fines raised nine-figure sum in 2022
The money was raised by making daily charges on non-compliant vehicles and issuing penalty notices.
What do you think will happen when not enough non-compliant cars cars are producing the revenue to fund the cameras with enough left over for Khans pet projects? Let’s have a guess - pay by mile charging is my guess. What do you think they’ll do - how will they pay to run the ULEZ camera system then?
Nothing wrong with it in actual London, presumably pre-expansion you say? Then you link to an article describing how it was working in 'actual' London and pulling down lots of money.I’ve said before, nothing wrong with it in actual London but there was no need for it in the outer London suburbs.

presumably to moan about it.
The one with the scrappage scheme?
Yes, it was announced to Londoners and in some cases quite generous. 50'000 polluting death traps removed from Londons' roads. As Londoners were largeley aware of existing ULEZ they had ample time and warning to prepare the expansion.

There will be less need for ULEZ. Job done.
It's working, so don't expect your RWR buddy Fromage to scrap it.
Have you noticed that they say giving up smoking can be as hard as giving up coke. Yet the sods that run this country class coke as illegal, but dont class tobacco as illegal. How about making drugs legal & taxing this cat 82%.UK tobacco smokers are now taxed to the tune of 82%.
People tend not to be gagging for a scrap after enjoying 20 cancer sticks.
A line or two of the old marching powder though...........

Not sure I agree with that. Our oldest car is 10 years old and is ULEZ compliant. Not sure when that standard was brought in but cars are scrapped all the time and replaced with new ones. That would sort the air naturally
It was more for those that said the expansion was nothing to do with Khan.Nothing wrong with it in actual London, presumably pre-expansion you say? Then you link to an article describing how it was working in 'actual' London and pulling down lots of money.
"Plans for the London-wide expansion - which were not part of Sadiq Khan's mayoral manifesto - were announced in November".
More addicts successfully give up heroin, than fags.
