Request ID: FOI-0785-2324 Date published: 19 June 2023
You asked
I dispute your claim that vehicles are the main source of air pollution in London.
Please can you provide evidence for these claims and a breakdown of other sources of air pollution such as aviation, railways, river transport, industry etc. You also fail to mention the toxic air quality on the London Underground!
Yet again you fail to provide any financial assistance to commuters that live in the home counties that commute into London for work.
I very much hope that the upcoming judicial review in July finally puts an end to this scandalous ULEZ scheme.
