anti-idling measures
Havering Council is currently discussing the financial transparency of vehicle emission reduction schemes, which contribute to managing vehicle emissions, including anti-idling measures.
In July 2026, Havering Council passed a motion calling for greater transparency and reinvestment of revenue generated by the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) and Penalty Charge Notices (PCN). The motion, brought by the Reform UK Havering Group, urged the Mayor of London and Transport for London (TfL) to provide a detailed breakdown of revenue collected within the borough.
Councillors expressed concerns that outer London boroughs are disproportionately affected by the ULEZ, arguing they have higher car dependency and fewer public transport alternatives. These discussions form part of wider council considerations regarding initiatives designed to prevent vehicles from running their engines unnecessarily while stationary.
