A plan to overturn London\u2019s Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) scheme has received major new backing just days before the Bill is heard in Parliament.<\/p>\n

Gareth Johnson, Conservative MP for Dartford, will present The Greater London Low Emission Zone Charging (Amendment) Bill to the House of Commons on December 6 in a plan to axe the charge.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The new Bill will give Parliament a chance to overturn the expansion after the Tory MP said London Mayor Sadiq Khan had \u201cno mandate\u201d for the scheme.\u00a0<\/p>\n

FairFuelUK, an industry-leading campaign group has now thrown its weight behind the project as the campaign gathers momentum.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Howard Cox, founder of the group and Reform UK\u2019s London Mayoral Candidate said that ULEZ had \u201cfleeced drivers\u201d and affected \u201clow-income motorists\u201d.<\/p>\n

He explained: \u201cI am fully in support of Dartford MP Gareth Johnson’s parliamentary attempt to scrap London’s pure cash-grabbing ULEZ extension. Mayor Khan\u2019s fixation with an alleged air quality improvement scheme that not only needlessly fleeces drivers, sole traders, and low-income motorists, it also rips at least half a \u00a3billion out of the Capital\u2019s economy every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is way past time, hard-pressed Londoners rid themselves of this dishonest opportunistic career politician, who also brings the Labour Party into disrepute. We must support a new Mayor that will scrap ALL of ULEZ for good, and get London moving again.\u201d<\/p>\n

The ULEZ charge was expanded to Outer London boroughs back in August with motorists facing a \u00a312,50 per day fee to use their old polluting cars.\u00a0<\/p>\n
