A comment on London's Ultra Low Emission Zone to cover entire city. Parent comment
This measure:
- Only applies to petrol vehicles over 17 years old and diesel vehicles over 7 years old
- Offers scrappage grants for those on low incomes or with disabilities
- Is generally not considered to be a “strong political action” and has reasonably broad support as par as polling can tell.
So, in other words, this seems like a reasonably proportionate effort to reduce local air pollution and there is not massive opposition.
