“ULEZ Can And WILL Be Scrapped” The Men Fighting To Bring The ULEZ Scheme To Its Knees

The expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) has sparked a fierce backlash from motorists who are now facing daily charges of £12.50 if their vehicles do not comply. This has led to an increase in attacks on ULEZ cameras and calls by senior Tories to slash the scheme in favour of hard-pressed motorists. The scale of this criminality is significant, with hundreds of cameras being damaged or stolen across the city.

To discuss how members of the public are fighting back to scrap ULEZ, in this week's Crime Suspect former Met Detective Peter Bleksley is joined by 'Mr. ULEZ' Noel Willcox, anti-ULEZ campaigner Paul The Orange Dinosaur and former Met Superintendent Shabnam Chaudri.

The ULEZ scheme, which aims to reduce pollution levels in the city, has raised concerns among motorists who feel it is simply a cash grab. Many argue that the signage is unclear and does not provide adequate information about the charges. Scaffolding business owner Noel Willcox, who was hit with fines totalling £11,500, successfully challenged the fines in court, arguing that the signs were not lawful. Despite the court ruling in his favour, Transport for London (TFL) continued to pursue him for the debts.

The ULEZ scheme is expected to generate around £174 million per year for TFL. While the funds are intended to be used for improving transport systems and reducing pollution levels, critics argue that the money could be better spent on other priorities, such as increasing police resources to tackle crime. Protests and campaigns against the ULEZ scheme are growing in numbers, with campaigners like Paul the Orange Dinosaur gaining attention and inspiring others to join the fight.
