Citizens Advice Havering are running Debt Workshop for anyone struggling with finances from 12.30-2pm Mon 24 Mar at Romford Library

1/. I didn't get involved in the ULEZ debate for two reasons 1) I could see both sides of the argument 2) I always thought that it would be brought in by Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan no matter what protests took place

2/. ULEZ rpt published by TfL - content.tfl.gov.uk/london-wide-ul… . Most interesting to me was P.157 with predicted emission tables for No ULEZ, No London wide ULEZ expansion & ULEZ as it is now, taking account of natural replacement of old vehs even if no ULEZ

3/. For outer London in 2024, predicted levels had ULEZ not been extended would have been less than actual levels for 2023 with it brought in. Therefore expanding ULEZ has brought fwd predicted falls by less than 12 mths. Was it worth all the fuss & expenditure on cameras etc?

. TfL have detailed forthcoming major work to Gallows Cnr Flyover starting 10 Mar, which will include full replacement of the structure. Major disruption likely over summer. See tfl-newsroom.prgloo.com/news/construct…
