London's Ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) could be reversed, with a legal challenge being heard at the High Court on Thursday.
TfL expects the expanded Ulez to net it as much as £300 million in the first year, although that figure could drop as low as £100 million.Ed Gregory, the organiser of the legal challenge, has
more than £23,500 for his case, which is being heard at the administrative court at 2.30pm on Thursday.Ulez is intended to tackle London's poor air quality, although a study suggested the move was only adding 13 minutes onto people's life expectancies.Some drivers have taken extreme measures to show their displeasure at the expansion.
Anti-Ulez "blade runners" have begun slashing tyres and vandalising "spy" vans used to detect if cars meet the Ulez standards.The vans are equipped with ANPR cameras which scan the number plates of passing vehicles to ensure if they are compliant withPictures have now emerged on social media of camera vans having had their tyres slashed, windscreen smashed and graffiti daubed over it - one with the slogan "no Ulez".
The vans do not directly say they are enforcing Ulez but have Transport for London markings and say they are carrying ANPR cameras.
