Rishi Sunak Pledges to Reverse ULEZ Expansion if Conservatives Win Election

Jun 7, 2024, 09:57 PM

The Conservative Party has announced plans to reverse the expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) if they retain power in the upcoming general election. The pledge is part of a broader 'Backing Drivers Bill' which aims to support drivers by overturning local and devolved government decisions on 20mph zones and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods (LTNs). Prime Minister Rishi Sunak emphasized on June 7 that the Conservatives are 'the party on the side of drivers.' This move is seen as an effort to appeal to motorists and address concerns about restrictive driving regulations.
