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. The anti-car march continues – from London to Scotland to other parts of the world, this is getting very depressing for car lovers.

As justification for the ULEZ Expansion to the whole of London, the thing you keep hearing from Mayor Sadiq Khan is that it’ll save 4000 lives. Those death are linked to respiratory, lung cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Though surely they can’t all just be directly linked to air pollution caused by cars. As tragic as it absolutely is, there is in fact only one death registered in London that’s officially listed as due to air pollution. So where is the 4000 figure from? Watch this – you’ll be shocked!
A couple of weeks ago, SNP’s Net Zero Minister, Michael Matheson, said that the Scottish government is looking to cut down car usage by 20% by 2030. 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?!
Despite the fact that the ULEZ expansion across the whole of outer London will have little to no impact on the air we breathe according to Transport for London’s own report, Mayor Sadiq Khan, insists on going ahead with in August saying ‘I’m not going to apologise for taking bold action to fix London’s air.’ Well okay. But was he watching ITV News yesterday?
