'His decision will harm people who cannot hold him to account at the ballot box'

Despite this, the scrappage scheme which offers money to scrap or retrofit vehicles to ULEZ standards is not available to Herts residents.

In the letter they said: “Good air quality is an issue which is important to us. However, the expansion of ULEZ so widely, so quickly, without the necessary support to mitigate the impacts is not something we can support.”The pair called for the scrappage scheme to be extended, and called for rezoning to move Watford into London Transport Zone 6,"so that residents benefit from cheaper fares".

Watford's Tory MP Dean Russell said: “My priority, and that of my colleagues, is to stop the Labour Mayor of London from imposing his unfair and unjustified border tax on the people of Hertfordshire.”He slammed Sadiq Khan for “harming people who cannot hold him to account at the ballot box” and called for the expansion to be scrapped altogether.
