Bomb attack on Ulez camera ‘grotesquely irresponsible’, says London mayor

Blast in Sidcup not being treated as terrorism but counter-terror officers are leading investigation

The London mayor's office has condemned a grotesquely irresponsible" attack in which a camera enforcing the city's ultra-low emission zone (Ulez) was damaged with what appeared to be a homemade bomb, saying lives were put at risk.

There was no immediate reaction on the incident from Downing Street or the Home Office, with No 10 saying it could not comment amid a police inquiry, but that it condemned criminality more generally".
