Have you heard the news? London’s air pollution has plummeted since the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) expansion in 2023. A victory for public health? A triumph for the Mayor of London? That’s what they’d have you believe. But let’s take a closer look—because once we break it down, things aren’t quite as they seem.
Six months on from the expansion of ULEZ (Ultra Low Emission Zone) to cover the whole of London, in August 2023 and the London Mayor still hasn’t released impact data to prove that it’s improved the air quality in the expanded zones. And it won’t be released until after the elections in May 2024. However, I shot two videos last year, taking an ELITECH Temptop air quality meter around London, covering firstly the previous ULEZ zone in part 1 and the proposed area of expansion in Part 2. This means I can directly compare my findings today, six months on from the expansion to the data I had before, to see if there has been any improvement in air quality. This is what I do in this video. And the results may surprise you – they certainly astonished me!
RANT TIME! Wake up People! Stop being Smug if you have a compliant car of EV, ULEZ may not hit you immediately, but it’s been confirmed as a precursor to Pay-Per-Mile. It’s true, soon EVERY motorist in the UK will be hit by expensive road charging that will leave us questioning whether you can afford to drive anywhere, or even contemplate owning a car!

Full video coverage from the latest big Anti ULEZ Expansion Protest held in Marble Arch on Sunday 25 June, 2023. I speak to protestors, councilors, MPs and Mayoral Candidates including Howard Cox for Reform UK and Daniel Korski for Conservatives. Most importantly talking to real people seriously impacted and concerned by the ULEZ Expansion due at the end of August this year across the whole of Greater London. Watch 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.
ULEZ, or the Ultra Low Emissions Zone in Central London, was undoubtedly conceived for the greater good of the public at large.
