Todayβs report shows that ULEZ works.
One year on, the ULEZ expansion is helping to:
π³ Drive down levels of pollution
π³ Take old polluting cars off our roads
π³ Bring cleaner air to millions more Londoners.
The Climate Change Committee's seventh carbon budget charts a clear path to net zero and a healthier society with cleaner air, warmer homes, better diets, more active travel, and greater energy security. Itβs now up to Parliament to agree the route forward. ukhealthalliance.org/news-item/th...
