That said he's already delayed it 2 years from what he was elected on sadiq.london/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Sadiq-for-London-Manifesto-.pdf
'I promise even more worldleading action on tackling air pollution. The central London ULEZ I introduced in 2019 in the face of Tory opposition has seen toxic emissions slashed by over 40%. But I want more Londoners to benefit from cleaner air, so I’ll expand the ULEZ in October 2021.' |

. . .He should have given more time for people to change their vehicles gradually over two or three years . . Exactly He is up for re-election next year that is why he brought this in quickly, his motivation IMO is for votes and cash |

I suspect it will be a net positive with London voters albeit as you say some boroughs will dissent.

Sadiq Khan's Ulez expansion will add just 13 minutes to the average life expectancy, research has revealed. Research conducted by the Mayor's own team found the scheme's impact will be “minor” and “negligible”.It predicts that there will be just 1.3 per cent reduction in the average Londoner's exposure to nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The data also concluded that the scheme will add just 13 minutes to the life expectancy of a Londoner in 2023. Link please to this research |

You could have googled it yourself. And exactly what are the benefits of ULEZ apart from giving kharn a pot to piss in?.....Usual bollox of attacking the messenger along with souce.....His ULEZ madness has cost more that he has received FFS. |

And you are failing to address that the actual report said the 13 minutes is an unfair misrepresentation

Just read the report.
'But whatever the controversy surrounding Professor Kelly’s team, one of his criticisms of his colleagues in the Centre for Transport Studies is correct: their findings use data covering just a few weeks after the ULEZ was introduced, whereas the mayor’s office measured changes after ten months of the scheme. That could give the mayor’s office research an edge.
And there is other research – not from either team at Imperial – that suggests the central London ULEZ scheme did produce more marked improvements in air quality.'

Sadiq Khan facing code of conduct probe over Ulez ‘far-Right’ comments Sadiq Khan is to be investigated for possible breach of the City Hall code of conduct in relation to comments he made prior to the expansion of the Ulez across Greater London. The Greater London Authority’s monitoring officer, Rory McKenna, has decided to appoint an independent investigator to look into a series of complaints received about the mayor from Nick Rogers, a Tory member of the London Assembly. These relate to the consultation run by Transport for London last summer, which found two-thirds of respondents opposed the expansion, and a People’s Question Time public meeting in Ealing in March, during which Mr Khan said Ulez opponents were “holding hands” with the far-Right.

Interesting and one to watch but the suggestion by the complainant that consultations are some sort of vote is at best bizarre
