The Mayor of London answered listener questions on BBC Radio London - and the hot topic of discussion was ULEZ expansion.

The overwhelming number of questions put to the mayor by listeners were in relation to his planned expansion of ULEZ across all of London from August, particularly how people living on the outskirts of the capital will be able to travel given the poorer transport links in those areas.

One million kilometres will be added to the bus network by this August, with a further million kilometres being added next year, Mr Khan has said.Eleven out of 19 outer London councils have expressed concerns over the ULEZ expansion, with many asking the mayor to delay or improve the scrappage scheme to support people during the cost-of-living crisis.

Some councils dispute the evidence, with Bexley, Bromley, Harrow and Hillingdon telling the mayor that their boroughs "enjoy good air quality" with levels of harmful gases "considerably below the levels in inner and central London".
