Sort:  

I expect it was a factor, ULEZ is very unpopular in other parts of the outer reaches of London, too, and people already in the scheme are paying those additional amounts.

On the other hand:

  • the scheme was brought in by the Conservative administration and
  • Grant Schapps as Transport Secretary wrote to the London Mayor to enforce the scheme's provisions and
  • air quality is detrimental to many people in the City with increased rates of asthma and pressures on the NHS.

I guess it's the first two! For winning the argument I mean!

Ah, now it looks like we're starting to get somewhere 😁.
