After being contacted by Full Fact, the Daily Mail has corrected an article which said a public consultation on the ULEZ expansion showed 80% opposition. This figure refers only to respondents who said they were business owners in outer London.
The online public consultation, which the Daily Mail article referenced, was held by Transport for London , and theOut of a total 57,937 responses, 48,028 responses to a closed-ended survey question on when, if at all, the expansion should be implemented, were reported.
Overall, 59% of respondents to this question said that the expansion should not be implemented, rising to 80% of business owners and 79% of workers in outer London .that some responses on this point were excluded, which we’ve not verified, but the claimed impact would not have significantly impacted the overall result of around 60% being against expansion .
It’s worth noting that responses to the public consultation do not necessarily represent the views of Londoners in general, or businesses in general. So it’s fair to say that 80% of outer London business owners who responded to the consultation were opposed to the expansion, but not that 80% of outer London businesses overall were opposed.
Two separate YouGov polls which were conducted to be representative of London’s adult population offered contrasting results on support for the proposals.
