Ulez has been branded “a sickening ploy” in a letter by an MP who has warned one enforcement camera facing a hospital is putting off patients and guests from visiting.
Paul Scully, MP for Sutton, Cheam and Worcester Park has written a letter to Sadiq Khan calling for the removal of the Ulez camera facing the Royal Marsden hospital in Surrey.
The MP expressed his disdain at the scheme and said many of his constituents felt the same way.
He referenced one appalled constituent who said that the camera was a “sickening ploy to trap people coming from across the UK for treatment as the hospital address is in Surrey”.
Scully agreed with his constituent’s comments.
The MP also states that whilst the camera had been taken down in the past, it was quickly re-installed.
He said: “My constituents and I in Sutton are appalled that this camera is still operational with the express intention of catching motorists venturing little more than a hundred metres into the Ulez boundary to visit their loved ones, receive treatment or attend their place of work.”
He urged the Mayor of London to reconsider disabling this camera.
“It is currently serving as a prominent lightning rod towards those who are willing to take the law into their own hands and its removal is the best outcome for all concerned”.
The Royal Marsden has two sites, one in London and one in Surrey.
Khan’s controversial scheme was expanded last week, now affecting all motorists driving into London.
Drivers will now have to pay a £12.50 daily fee if their vehicle is non-Ulez compliant.
The charge will hit petrol vehicles introduced earlier than 2005 which are not compliant with Euro 4 emissions regulations.
ULEZ LATEST:
- Ulez hypocrisy: Ed Davey asks for EXEMPTION in his own constituency despite voting for it
- Drivers warned of the 'only official way' to avoid 'really concerning' Ulez scam
- Ulez scammers prey on vulnerable Londoners as they claim to make non-compliant vehicles exempt
Diesel cars and vans are only exempt if their engine complies with Euro 6 rules, which were introduced in September 2015.
Councils bordering the capital have largely rejected the Mayor’s appeal to put Ulez signs up.
Buckinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Kent, Surrey and Thurrock have rejected calls from TFL to put up the signs.
Slough is the only one of the seven local authorities bordering the capital that has agreed to the signage.
Matt Furniss, a cabinet member for transport at Surrey Country Council said that they will not set up signage “whilst there isn’t any mitigation in place to minimise the impact of the expansion on Surrey residents”.
