Scrap all ULEZ to Bring Back Economic Prosperity to the Capital
There are three elements to the Cebr’s study.
1.) First it examines the impact of the existing ULEZ scheme for cars and vans.
2.) Then it analyses the relevant differences between the area for the expanded scheme and that of the existing scheme.
3.) Finally, it considers the overall economic and social impact.
The key summary points from the Cebr study are:
* The existing ULEZ has an impact on the London economy – we estimate the negative impact is £253 million.
* The Proposed ULEZ has an additional negative impact of £369 million.
* The total proposed ULEZ effect for cars and vans is £538 million.
* Moreover, these only estimate the direct effects.
* Since the impact of the Proposed ULEZ on vans is 4.5 times that of the existing ULEZ and hence essentially on business activity, it is likely that the Proposed ULEZ has additional indirect economic effects which we have not considered.
Howard Cox says: “Mayor Khan’s fixation with an alleged air quality improvement scheme that not only needlessly fleeces drivers, sole traders, and low-income motorists, it also rips at least half a £billion out of the Capital’s economy per year. It is way past time, hard pressed Londoners rid themselves of this dishonest career politician and support a new Mayor that will scrap ULEZ for good and get London moving again.”

Background: Since 2011 the APPG for Fair Fuel for UK Motorists and UK Hauliers has examined major issues that impact on UK drivers. Along with FairFuelUK, it has been a major influencer on keeping Fuel Duty frozen since 2011. As well as fuel taxation, other issues addressed by the APPG that impact on drivers, have included congestion charges, ULEZ/CAZs, parking costs, roads investment, unfair treatment for fossil fuelled vehicle owners, solutions to lower emissions, cleaner fuel incentives, alternative technology options and transparent pricing at the fuel pumps with a continual call for PumpWatch. With the expected decline in Fuel Duty revenue, the APPG will also formulate a long-term approach to the future of road taxation and a positive transport strategy for all road users. https://fairfueluk.com
Since 2010 FairFuelUK has saved drivers over £200bn in planned tax hikes in duty and VAT through constructive and objective campaigning. Had FairFuelUK not campaigned to scrap the fuel duty escalator, fuel tax today would be 90p/lt rather than 57.95p/lt. Today we would be paying £2.40+ per litre at the pumps had FairFuelUK not fought for the World's highest taxed drivers. Because of the Campaign, inflation is down 6.7% and £24bn has been put back into consumer spending each and every year since 2011.
FairFuelUK is a public affairs team with no shareholders to satisfy, just an award-winning campaign representing the real concerns of hard-working motorists, families, small businesses, commercial drivers and hauliers across the UK. Decades of fiscal exploitation by successive Governments with little in return, warrants the need for FairFuelUK.
For 12 years, this award winning campaign was previously funded and backed by the RHA, and Logistics UK and other respected organisations, 1.7m supporters and 146 MPs . FairFuelUK is fronted by the Campaign's Founder Howard Cox. Previous backers have included the RAC, Association of Pallet Networks, UKLPG and many others including donations from the public.
