Londoners support charging 'dirty' drivers, says air pollution study

Survey reveals backing for emissions charging to tackle air pollution and congestion

Almost three-quarters of Londoners support charging drivers of dirty vehicles in an effort to tackle the capital's air pollution crisis, according to a study.

The survey, released on the day the mayor, Sadiq Khan, launches his ultra low emissions zone (ULEZ), found that 72% of adults in London support emissions charging to tackle both air pollution and congestion.
