Surrey County Council has expressed disappointment and frustration at proposed expansion of London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone.

The Council has written to the Mayor of London citing strong concerns about the financial impact the expansion would have for a significant number of communities and businesses.

A number of recommendations to help lessen the impacts of the expansion were proposed to the Mayor, including extending the car scrappage scheme to Surrey residents, extending the Zone 6 Oyster Card or providing exemptions for commuters.

To date none of this has been recognised.
