The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has insisted he has a mandate from Londoners to expand the city's ultra low emission zone (ULEZ) despite not including the move in his 2020 manifesto. In a clash with Conservative assembly members on the issue during Mayor's Question Time at City Hall this morning, (Thursday, June 22), Mr Khan was also accused of "rushing" the policy through before the next mayoral election in May 2024, and not wanting to give Londoners a say.
Maybe he thinks that more of his constituents are pro breathing decent air than pro driving smoggy private vehicles. I'd like to think he's onto something.
Yeah most londoners don’t drive and air pollution affects everyone. I welcome the ULEZ expansion.
