ULEZ LIVEBLOG -- Follow MailOnline's live coverage as London's Ultra-Low Emission Zone (Ulez) is expanded by Mayor Sadiq Khan to include the whole of the capital today,
Sadiq Khan's controversial expansion of the Ulez has started with chaotic scenes as cameras are vandalised by vigilantes, TfL's number plate checker website crashes and councils outside London refuse to put up signage for the scheme.\nThe move, which came into effect at midnight, now means people will have to pay £12.
50 a day to drive certain vehicles into the city - something that will bring an extra £2.5million a day into City Hall and is set to raise billions in the coming years.\nThe expansion, which Mr Khan says will help battle pollution in the capital, has been vociferously fought by charities, Tory councils and residents in outer London, with the mayor even resisting pressure from Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to delay it.
