The charge increased to £12.50 in April as part of the capital’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez). There were 13,500 fewer polluting cars driven into central London last month compared with March, a reduction of 38 per cent, according to the report by the Greater London Authority. However, the level of NO2 in central London remains well above the legal limit of 40mcg/m3 and almost a quarter of vehicles in the charging zone breach the Ulez emissions standard. This is partly because diesel black cabs are exempt from the charge. The amount of traffic in central London has fallen by up to 9 per cent since last year, suggesting that the introduction of the charge has prompted some people to give up driving into the centre. |
