London's Ultra Low Emission Zone to cover entire city

Nobody in London should be driving their kids to school.

I walked a mile to school in outer London in the 90s and it was absolutely fine.

This zone would extend as far as Kingston, and some people don’t live near their school or a reliably serviced bus stop

Really?

In Bromley (which is also getting the ULEZ extension) the buses go pretty far into the sticks.

Places like Keston, Downe and Biggin Hill have good TFL bus access while being basically rural villages. Seriously, look up Downe on a map. It's in the middle of nowhere.

Kingston is incredibly well served with schools being walking distance bus stops.

Sure, but not if you don't live in Kingston itself but go to school there.
