Our response
Following a public consultation that ran from 20 May to 29 July 2022, the Mayor decided to
expand the ULEZ London-wide from 29 August 2023.
The Mayor made this decision after taking into account a detailed consultation report and integrated impact assessment.
Transport for London (TfL) ran the consultation, which received nearly 58,000 responses.
The majority of respondents to the consultation said there was a need to go further to tackle poor air quality. The Mayor has been clear that this was not an easy decision but a necessary one, due to the impact of air pollution on people’s health.
- The Mayor’s decision, TfL Consultation Report and other supporting documentation (including the Integrated Impact Assessment) can be found on the GLA website.
- A number of documents were published alongside the consultation to help respondents understand the proposals and can be found on the TfL consultation website.
