ULEZ (2)

  • Reference: 2021/1953
  • Question by: Keith Prince
  • Meeting date: 27 May 2021
A constituent has asked: can the Mayor of London explain to Londoners, what happens to all the revenue that is collected from the Congestion Charge, the ULEZ and the LEZ? He further asks how the Mayor justifies the fact that if people pay the charges, they are then allowed to drive around in London, polluting London’s environment?
