The death knell for London? Was listening to the radio this morning and a coach company faces left out of their yard and 100m and into the ULEZ at a cost of £100 per day. Right and they are fine. The answer is don't turn right no coach trips into Central London they employ fewer drivers and City Centre London gets fewer visitors.
A van hire company bought new vans 3 years ago and were told they would then have 6 years to adapt - that 6 year gap was brought forward and now they face writing off 1/4 million pounds worth of vans. Good news for them is TFL will give them £3k towards the scrapping of a £15k value van OR they can sell outside London get full value and just move the perceived pollution to Bristol or Derby . We do need to tackle pollution but are we going about it in remotely the right way? I doubt it.
