Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ)
Councils are currently discussing the Ultra Low Emission Zone's revenue transparency and its impact on air quality.
Havering Council passed a motion in July 2026 calling for greater transparency and reinvestment of revenue generated by the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ). The motion urged the Mayor of London and Transport for London to provide a detailed breakdown of ULEZ and Penalty Charge Notice revenue collected within the borough, with councillors expressing concerns about the disproportionate impact on outer London boroughs.
In January 2026, Barnet Council passed a motion to formally congratulate the Mayor of London on his success in reducing toxic nitrogen dioxide pollution across the capital. The motion attributed this reduction to the introduction and expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone, which is a London scheme designed to reduce air pollution.
