Report from the Anti-ULEZ protest on 28 January 2023, at Trafalgar Square. We speak to the community directly affected and concerned by the ULEZ Expansion due at the end of August this year across the whole of Greater London. Strong views, valid points, high passion – watch now!
In the wake of London’s Islington Council announcing it wants to ban cars from 70% of its roads, Hackney Council went further yesterday and said it will bar cars from 75% of its tarmac.

He went further, and this is also in his Strategic Transport Report, that the era of catering for unconstrained growth in private car use is well and truly over. WHAT?!

It will hit hardest on those already suffering from the cost of living crisis and will banish classic cars from the city’s streets. Plus he has no mandate for (80% of Greater Londoners were against it) and negligible benefit (according to his own TFL-led report). Here’s why.
