ULEZ Expansion
26 February 2021
The Ultra Low Emission Zone is expanding from 25 October 2021. Have you checked your vehicle?
Air pollution is not just a central London problem, with many areas still exceeding the legal limits for pollution across the city. That is why from 25 October 2021, the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding to create a single, larger zone up to the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205). The North and South Circular Roads themselves are not in the zone. This is part of the commitment by the Mayor and TfL to help every Londoner breathe cleaner air.
The scheme is being introduced in Chiswick because air pollution limits are still being exceeded in the expansion zone and poor air quality remains the biggest environmental risk to the health of all Londoners. In January 2021, TfL wrote to all Chiswick and Brentford residents living within approximately a mile of the ULEZ boundary to notify them of the start of the scheme.
The ULEZ will continue to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends (except Christmas day), with a £12.50 daily charge for vehicles that do not meet the required emissions standards. Cars, motorcycles, vans and other specialist vehicles (up to and including 3.5 tonnes) and minibuses (up to and including 5 tonnes) will need to meet the required ULEZ emissions standards when driving within and into the expanded zone, or pay a daily charge.
Four out of five cars already meet the ULEZ emissions standards, but we need owners of the remaining older cars, motorcycles, lighter van and minibuses to take action.
