Don’t fall for the Mayor of London’s latest extension to the Scrappage Scheme (one of several). there’s extra money and it’s now open to all Londoners, but you can’t apply till August 21, which is too late, and there are no cars available for reasonable money right now.
The Conservative Party has just finalised its shortlist of three finalists trying to get the party’s nomination for the Mayoral election next year (2 May 2024). The winning candidate will be announced on 19 July after a series of hustings and ballot of party members. I thought I’d take this moment to take a look at all the major known current candidates we have vying for the position of the next Mayor of London, and where they stand on ULEZ.
Facing a torrent of criticism and hate over the ULEZ Expansion, London Mayor Sadiq Khan, who is desperate to expand ULEZ to outer London, simply to impress his C40 Cities mates, tries to appease Londoners by expanding eligibility of the scrappage scheme, which wasn’t hard because it wasn’t previously available to anyone. But with time running out, no extra money in the pot and the extreme danger to the environment of scrapping so many cars, this is just a massive misdirection, it addresses nothing, and we must maintain pressure to stop the pointless ULEZ expansion.
To go with the forthcoming ULEZ Expansion in August, London Mayor Sadiq Khan has announced the biggest ever vehicle scrappage scheme.
