Editing Anti-Ulez group defends destroying cameras (section)

== What has Khan said?==

The mayor of London has ploughed ahead with the Ulez rollout – but admitted that it was behind Labour’s failure to win last month’s Uxbridge and South Ruislip parliamentary by-election last month.

However, he and supporters of the scheme argue it will prevent premature deaths from pollution and clean up the capital’s air, with any revenues being used to reinvest in public transport.

The Labour mayor said: “The vast majority of Londoners want to see clean air and I recognise there are some Londoners with genuine concerns.

“My job is to try and address those concerns and I have been doing that.”
