I emailed a while ago about the TFL consultation around changes to the Central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ):
The deadline for this is Sunday 25th June.
We're
really concerned that the proposed changes to the ULEZ isn't taking
into consideration the boundaries of the zone - or properly considering
the impact on residents living just outside. We already know that more
than 31,547 vehicles drive along Kennington Park Road each day (almost
10,000 vehicles/day more than Kennington Road and almost twice as many
vehicles as Kennington Lane) (source www.howpollutedismyroa d.org.uk) and NO2 levels along Kennington Park Road are regularly more than 150% above EU limit (communitymaps.org.uk/project/ air-quality-monitoring),
which includes some of the highest readings across the whole of
Lambeth. If the boundaries of the ULEZ mirror those of the CCharge zone,
then ever more polluting traffic will be pushed down Kennington Park
Road.
When
we surveyed local residents last year, 41.67% of you supported
expanding the congestion zone as far as the South Circular, and 25%
supported expanding it to include KPR. We will be advocating that the
ULEZ should be expanded to include areas outside of the CCharge Zone
and, this evening, we will aim to come up with a paragraph that you can
cut and paste into the 'other comments' section of the consultation
response form as there are no specific questions about the boundaries of the zone.
We
will submit a response to the consultation on behalf of KPRRANW, but it
is also really important that as many people as possible submit
individual responses.
We
hope to see lots of you there this evening - please forward this email
to any other local people or groups who you think would be interested.
Many thanks,
Lucy
