An anti-Ulez Facebook group with over 45,000 members promotes resistance against Ulez penalties and encourages vandalism of enforcement measures.

The Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) was expanded to cover all of London on August 29, 2021, making it the largest pollution charging zone in the world.

This initiative has been hailed as a success, significantly reducing harmful air pollutants and contributing to climate efforts.

Drivers of non-compliant vehicles must pay a daily charge of £12.50, with penalties for late payments escalating to as much as £270.

Transport for London (TfL) reports that over 96% of vehicles in the Ulez area are compliant, urging drivers not to ignore penalty charge notices.

In the past year, bailiffs seized over 1,400 vehicles from drivers who failed to pay Ulez fees, recouping more than £25 million.

TfL has recovered £25.6 million from Ulez fines, including significant payments from drivers with multiple warrants against them.

The Ulez aims to improve London's air quality by discouraging the use of older, polluting vehicles, and TfL encourages those facing financial hardships to seek support.

Despite its goals, the Ulez initiative has faced backlash from non-compliant vehicle owners, with some resorting to vandalism of enforcement cameras.

To enhance enforcement against non-compliant drivers, TfL plans to increase the size of its investigations team.

The organization aims to triple the number of staff in investigations to better target repeat offenders amidst ongoing outstanding debts.

Out of the 1,429 seized vehicles, 761 were auctioned, recovering £710,000 in unpaid Ulez charges.
