Harrow Council's attempt to halt the city's low emission zone expansion was unsuccessful, yet a new study indicates a substantial 15.2% reduction in nitrogen oxide emissions following the policy's implementation. This reduction places Harrow among the leading boroughs for environmental improvement. Other boroughs also experienced significant reductions, and overall outer London saw a 14% decrease in emissions. The report emphasizes the importance of compliance, with a high percentage of vehicles meeting the Ulez requirements by September 2024, showcasing positive outcomes amid Mayor Sadiq Khan's controversial expansion decision.
"The decision to expand the Ulez was not something I took lightly, but this report shows it was the right one for the city."
"NOx emissions from cars and vans across the whole of outer London were estimated to be 14% lower last year than they would have been without Ulez expansion."
