Bike shop owner – who owns nine cars – says ULEZ expansion will cause “chaos” “I respect the fact that they want lower emissions, but why should you be able to pay a tax to still poison people?” the Bromley local said cycling
A bike shop owner in South London – who also owns nine cars – has spoken out against plans to expand the city’s Ultra Low Emission Zone , which he believes will cause “chaos” for locals as well as simply creating a tax permitting paying motorists to “still poison people”.that it will cost him £80,000 to upgrade three of his family’s cars to ensure they are compliant with the new extended scheme, which is set to be introduced by the end of August.
As part of the expansion, a £110m scrappage scheme will also be introduced, which aims to provide low-income Londoners with grants of up to £2,000 to replace their high-polluting vehicles. “[I was given a] Nissan Micra which has done 16,000 miles, and bizarrely it’s non-compliant,” he says. “It could do another 80 or 90,000 miles. But yet you can go and buy a 50 grand Tesla, which is completely uneconomical to put on the road.”
“Why are you paying money for that to happen? You should either have it and not pay or ban it, not be able to pay to use it.
