A major new University of Birmingham study has confirmed what Croydon drivers already knew: Labour’s ULEZ expansion made no difference to air quality – but it’s hit thousands of hardworking people in the pocket.
Drivers, small businesses and families with older cars have been paying £12.50 a day just to get to work, deliver goods or visit relatives – all for a scheme that the study says had “no measurable effect” on emissions.
This is total vindication. Labour’s ULEZ punished people for nothing. It’s time for common sense, not cash-grabs.
