Topic: London’s ULEZ Expansion: Cleaner Air, Fairer City
Posted by: Alan Anderson

The London-wide expansion of the Ultra Low Emission Zone has led to a sharp drop in harmful air pollutants. Within its first year, roadside nitrogen dioxide levels fell by around **27%**, and fine particulate matter from exhausts dropped by **22%** compared with what would have been expected without the scheme. About **95% of vehicles** driving in London now meet the clean-air standards, meaning far fewer high-polluting cars on the road.

Beyond the numbers, the benefits reach millions. The inclusion of outer boroughs means **five million more Londoners** now breathe cleaner air — especially in communities that had long suffered the worst pollution. Backed by scrappage schemes and cleaner transport investment, the expanded ULEZ is accelerating London’s shift towards quieter, healthier, low-carbon streets.

If someone wants to argue ULEZ was misguided, they’ll need more than one fringe study (University of Birmingham) — they’ll have to explain why nearly all monitored air-quality sites in the city nonetheless show improvement, and why reductions and health gains are being observed.

Nice one Sadiq! 3 terms so far. Make it 4!
