Proposed measures to improve air quality in London include implementing the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) in 2019; expanding the ULEZ beyond central London in 2020;  introducing a central London Emissions Surcharge from 2017 for the most polluting vehicles or asking TfL to look at a diesel scrappage scheme.  What are the consequences? Will they match London’s needs for cleaner air? What area of London should be covered by a ULEZ for heavy vehicles, if at all? Should the government fund a scrappage scheme for cars or vans? Should a new Emissions Surcharge be introduced to discourage use of older, more polluting vehicles in central London?

 Jennifer Brathwaite (Labour Councillor Gipsy Hill Ward & Cabinet Member for Environment and Transport), Feryal Demirci (Labour Councillor for Hackney) and Samantha Heath (CEO London Sustainability Exchange) will discuss these questions.
