“As an example, he has narrowed roads across London, then there is congestion.

“Three lanes into one, park lane, yet there is a cycle lane in Hyde Park.

“Houston road is just a car park, his remarks about George Floyd and then the MP that was killed, completely contradictory.”

The caller then highlighted some of his concerns and costs regarding the new ULEZ expansion.

“Now this, I just don’t understand how a carer who has to look after someone is going to be able to afford £12.50 a day.

“A small business, the gasman who is going to come and repair your boiler, £12.50 a day.

“Sadiq Khan, this man is, I am sorry to say, bringing London to its knees.

Mayor of London Sadiq Khan has widened the ULEZ zone so it will now stretch from the North Circular to the South Circular, but the ULEZ plan was first proposed by Boris Johnson during his tenure as London Mayor.

Estimates say there are 138,000 non-compliant vehicles registered within the new ULEZ area.

The ULEZ expansion means drivers of the “most pollutant” vehicles will have to pay a £12.50 daily charge for driving within London’s ULEZ.

For any non-compliant vehicles driving in areas where the ULEZ and congestion charge apply will have to pay both, totalling £27.50.
