Unforeseen consequences of London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) – tradesmen passing on ULEZ charges to people that live in the ULEZ, so homeowners in the ULEZ pay the price

From here:

Homeowners slapped with Sadiq Khan's ULEZ fees without even leaving the house (msn.com)

“Plumbers, builders and carpenters feel like they are left with "no choice" but to pass on the cost of the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) fee to their customers, leaving homeowners hit with charges without even leaving their homes.

The ULEZ expansion at the end of August, extended the scheme to all 32 London boroughs, meaning thousands of tradesmen who do not work in central London have to pay the traffic charge.

Danny Madden of Madden Builders in London warned his customers of increasing costs: "We've even had instances where we said to clients, when Ulez was starting, that we need to add the charge of £12.50 per day onto jobs. If you've got something over six weeks then that is a massive increase."

As always, the cost of virtue signalling a “solution” turns out to hurt everyone it’s supposed to help.

Inflation on the way, as always.

No clue from the anti-white racist London Mayor, Sadiq Khan on how the proceeds of a qiarter of a billion pounds will be spent, other than evidence that it is being spent on a massive tv and promotional campaign.

This ¼ billion is on top of the same amount being raised from a “daily congestion charge” that has been in force for years.

More taxes, no benefits and lots of red tape. Surprise, surprise.

Onwards!
