What is in store for us this time?

What was in Boris’ messages?

And will concessions be made on the ULEZ to keep diesel jaaaag owners in the pocket?

    2015 isn’t that long ago so I can still see it’s an issue for people with older cars. Mine was ~2010 so attracts a £12.50 a day charge and at 70000 miles on the clock isn’t a worn out banger. Of course where the choice is drive to London or take the train it probably still tips in the cars favour if I have the family with me but I’m coming from a fair way out. I can certainly see it being a problem for low paid workers on non public transport friendly hours because it will be an eighth of their pay for the day.

      Which is why there’s a scrappage scheme to fund people replacing older cars.

        It’s not going to cover the full cost, especially if the replacement car has to be much newer than what you have.

          Doesnt have to be newer technically? Ford focus mk1 runs from 98-2004 and meets ulez requirements. As does audi a2, cars which can be picked up for 500-5k.
