car dependency
Havering Council is calling for transparency on ULEZ revenue, citing concerns about car dependency in outer London.
Havering Council passed a motion in July 2026 calling for greater transparency and reinvestment of revenue from the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). Councillors expressed concerns that outer London boroughs, which they argue have higher levels of car dependency and fewer public transport alternatives, are disproportionately affected by the ULEZ.
The motion, brought forward by the Reform UK Havering Group, urges the Mayor of London and Transport for London to provide a detailed breakdown of ULEZ and Penalty Charge Notice revenue collected within the borough. Car dependency refers to the extent to which individuals and societies rely on private cars for transportation.
