      Sounds like just stop being poor.

      You driven behind many pre-2016 diesel cars recently, really not recommended.

      Moreover ULEZ was announced in 2015 - by then mayor Boris.

        What’s that got to do with it? Do you think poor people choose to drive shitty old cars?

        Moreover what? This is segregation by financial status. Poor people can go and breathe dirty air?

          Poor people do breathe dirty air. Somewhere like Harringey only 40% of households own cars. Thats the poorest 60% who have to hoover up particulates from the richer 40% and the people commuting in.

          If it’s segregation by financial status it’s not the poorest the suffer.

            It’ll be interesting to see the pollution data when they release it. But the further it expands from the city centre, the less public transport, and the more people are dependent on cars.

            It’s be okay if they offered a decent scrappage scheme and invested in a public transport system so fewer cars were needed.
