London and the ULEZ

[Grayo]

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 sleeve

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.

Sounds like another Government money making scheme to me. How can it have anything to do with emissions if London Taxis are exempt ?? There are hundreds of thousands of them !! (nearly 300,000 at the last count).
