Speaking to The Times, Mr North said: \u201cWe tried to go without a car just to see if we could manage and we couldn’t.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere’s only two of us. I’m classed as disabled. The wife has to go shopping or my daughter and son-in-law have to come over. My wife\u2019s mum\u2026 It takes my wife three buses to get there. It\u2019s a long way.”<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cI was putting \u00a330 to \u00a335 a month on that. This one I’ve had for just over two weeks and I’ve put \u00a365 in it.<\/p>\n

But I suppose we just have to grin and bear it now.\u201d<\/p>\n The new scheme charges drivers of non-compliant petrol and diesel cars \u00a312.50 per day to use the roads. This would add up to a whopping \u00a387.50 per week or \u00a3375 per month if motorists used their vehicles every day.<\/p>\n Harmondsworth is the closest village to Heathrow Airport with properties lying less than two miles from the runway.<\/p>\n Mr North feels Mayor Khan should have turned his attention to dealing with toxic aeroplane pollution which was having an impact on residents rather than raiding motorists’ bank accounts.<\/p>\n He claimed: \u201cEverybody knows there\u2019s an airport here, everyone knows what the pollution is like.<\/p>\n \u201cWe wash the windows on the hose once a fortnight. Get up in the morning and they’re literally black and that’s soot and everything. But if anything I think he should have sorted out the aircraft first.\u201d<\/p>\n
