London's ULEZ Expansion Faces Legal Challenge from Five Local Authorities

London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) scheme, which charges the most polluting vehicles in the city, is being expanded to cover almost all of the Greater London area.

However, five local authorities are challenging this decision in court, arguing that it is unlawful.

They claim that Transport for London (TfL) provided no detail on how it calculated the 91% figure of vehicles that would not be affected by the expansion.

The local authorities also argue that Khan's decision to not extend a scrappage scheme to those living just outside the expanded ULEZ is unjust.

Lawyers representing Khan and TfL argue that TfL provided sufficient information for the consultation and that extending the scrappage scheme was rejected in order to target those directly affected.
