We are consulting on the next stage of the Mayor, Sadiq Khan’s plan to help tackle London’s toxic air pollution, which contributes to thousands of early deaths in our city each year. To have your say visit tfl.gov.uk/airquality-consultation From 8 April 2019, the Mayor is introducing the Ultra Low Emission Zone in central London, replacing the T-Charge with an even tighter emission standards for diesel vehicles. To help further reduce toxic emissions in London, the Mayor is also now proposing to: • Extend these tighter emissions standards to the whole of London for lorries, buses and other heavy goods vehicles only in 2020 • Expand the ULEZ for all vehicles including cars, vans, motorbikes and minibuses up to the North and South circular roads in 2021 This consultation ends on 28 February 2018.
Just got this email from TFL.In a nutshell, any bike registered before July 2007 will be liable to pay the ULEZ charge of £12.50 in the current Congestion zone next February (2019) and within the boundaries of the North & South Circular (proposed, by 2021)Have a read to see what the mayor has up his sleevehttps://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/environment/air-quality-consultation-phase-3b/?cid=airquality-consultationAnd if you can, complete the online survey and tell him where to poke it !some background herehttps://www.motorcyclenews.com/news/2016/november/we-ride-london-ulez/QuoteWe are consulting on the next stage of the Mayor, Sadiq Khan’s plan to help tackle London’s toxic air pollution, which contributes to thousands of early deaths in our city each year.

These low emission zones taxes are nothing to do with the environment but are a way to force the less well off financially onto public transport so that they have less freedom of movement and what movement they do have is controlled and monitored even more than it is now, then the roads are clearer for the " great and the good" who are the ones making these proposals because they know it will not affect them. I am not paranoid, well not much, just believe that we are being screwed good and proper.

1. They usually don't show the M25, which is probably one of the biggest contributors... Yet because the mayor can't tax it and make revenue out of that, it's conveniently not mentioned?! (...and I should think one of the worst places would have been Dartford crossing before the gates were automated. They used to cause congestion and stop the traffic with no regard for the environment so they could make money!!)You may have gathered I'm not very happy about this.
