"ULEZ charges only apply to vehicles that don't meet minimum emission standards. There is a website you can check your cars status. It doesn't apply to all vehicles . Minimum emissions standards Petrol: Euro 4 (NOx) Diesel: Euro 6 (NOx and PM) The ULEZ is enforced based on the declared emissions of the vehicle rather than the age. However: Petrol cars that meet the ULEZ standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after 2005, although cars that meet the standards have been available since 2001 Diesel cars that meet the standards are generally those first registered with the DVLA after September 2015" Ah well that me out lol. I have a 2011 Diesel ![]() | |||

"That’s me done with Kestrels. I’m a regular and it’s already very expensive for a single guy at £40. Adding ULEZ charge on top will make it too expensive. Shame " I agree. We travel 2h+ to get there. 40 Diesel + 35 + ULEZ. No chance! ![]() | |||

"Think K’s will struggle. £25 on top of entry for non compliment vehicles. Can see numbers plummeting. Numbers won’t plummet as the majority of cars will be ULEZ compliant. If you say so" Depends who you listen to. It's probably only 1 in 6 cars that are non-conpliant, but obviously diesels are hit disproportionately. Given how close Heathrow is to the edge of the zone, it may be possible to find somewhere to park outside and then public transport. For instance, the Elizabeth Line stops at West Drayton then it's a bus to Longford. G | |||

"Stats suggest way way less than 1 in 6. Estimated 90.5% of cars in greater London are ULEZ compliant so don't assume you're not! " 1 in 10 (quoted by Sadiq Khan) is disputed by a review of traffic cameras, hence I went for the lower value to head off any counter arguments! But I agree, don't assume your car is not compliant! | |||

"We have two cars and a motorcycle, none are compliant. For people to say the majority come within are deluded to the number of vehicles that fall outside. The whole purpose is to make money nothing else, so it would be a bit pointless if the majority were not affected." I do agree. Simply put, you could drive the worst polluting vehicle known to man but providing you pay £12.50 you can gas as many kids as you like ![]() | |||

"Maybe they could put on a minibus service or create a group whereby people can stay in hotels outside and have set pick up times and drop off times to try and keep the valuable customers and try to keep Your costs down. Just a thought ![]() Somehow I don't think they will. Accidentally got a parking ticket £100 "as a customer" a while back. Did they help. Nope. They told me to pay it as they have 'some agreement'? With the parking company. Also a minibus service, and all the messing about probably won't be worth it, as people have to leave too. There screwed. ![]() | |||

Also, when Tfl needed more money during Covid the government, a Conservative government, only allowed the funding on the proviso that Ulez was carried forward and implemented. Once you understand this you you'll understand my original comment. | |||

Other London boroughs were against it. This is basically what the thread is about, with respect to the club. He has the autonomy to implement it as he saw fit. | |||

"This is not a club issue come iside the zone for any visit or attraction you pay. also not unique to London there are air ploution charge zones in numerous towns and cities in the UK all vary In regards to what vehicles get charged. If vehicles are compliant so less polluting there is no charge. " No one has implied it’s a club issue, but it is an issue for potentially a lot of club users. | |||

"I have a 2018 euro 6 diesel engined car and a 2005 euro 3 petrol engined car, both of which are compliant. I think a lot of people are worried needlessly as more vehicles will be compliant than the press are making out." Neither of our cars are compliant, luckily we don't live anywhere near London anymore and, at the moment, there aren't any low emissions zones near us. If we did, then an extra £25 would certainly have an impact on what where we choose to go. | |||

What you posted was the congestion charge, that’s for central London. ULEZ was introduced in 2019 (£12.50) but only covered central London. As of today it covers Greater London. I have 2 motorbikes and a car that aren’t compliant. Had to pay £12.50 for the privilege of riding a motorbike in London at the weekend Never been to kestrals, too shy.

Outside London the figures will be lower with a lot more non-compliant cars. I for one have bought two cars within the last couple of years from within London for peanuts and use them outside London. (Still great deals to be had on some great cars if you go shopping in London but plan to drive mostly outside.) For somewhere like Kestrels if most of customers were from inside London I guess not much of a problem but most out coming from outside London with much higher non-ULEZ cars. | |||

"Clearly has nothing to do with air quality. It's just a cover up to make money. If, as Khan says it is only the minority of cars that will have to pay it, then clearly if they stop entering the zone, which is what he wants, then the benefit to air quality will also be minimal. As clearly the majority of 'clean' compliant vehicles are doing good enough a job of polluting the air on their own." Mmmm I’m not sure you quite understand how it works, if the cars that pollute a lot don’t drive in an area then the air quality improves. It’s really quite simple. Air quality has improved significantly in central London, also the expansion of ULEZ was a condition of the government stopping TFL going bankrupt. Whether Khan wanted to expand ULEZ or not (and I think he does), the government told him he had to. | |||

"I am not sure it is the Tories , it was the mayor of London that bought it in . He place the order for cameras etc before there was any consultation . Hmmm " As a few others have pointed out before the expansion of ULEZ was a condition of the government stopping TFL going bankrupt, last time I checked we had a Tory government, so yes he may have bought it in but it was the government that forced it. It was also Boris "part animal" Johnston who came.up.with the idea initially. | |||

"For those of you thinking of making the switch to Corsa E, don't be too scared. Just bought one for £ 2K more than equivalent Petrol. Which I thought was worth the investment. Over last 4 weeks have not had to buy any fuel as we charge off solar panels, however if you don't have solar you can charge it up at night for 9.5p KWH. You get roughly 4 miles per KWH so works out at less than 2.5p per mile. There is no road tax and of course no ULEZ. Petrol currently at around 15 to 20p per mile depending on your cars mileage. It goes like a rocket. The acceleration is breath taking as torque is smooth and instant. Has 209 miles of range so if you're like me do all your charging at home for those rates. I do realise my post may not suit all as EVs do have drawbacks but if you have a drive and can home charge it is the way to go. My ICE has sat on the drive for last 4 weeks gathering cobwebs. Why pay for petrol when I can get it for free. " Food for thought. For balance, what are the drawbacks/negatives you've experienced so far? | |||

"We had a great time with a ULEZ compliant car at Kestrels the other day. Once we got her started she was purring! She wasn't one of these new models either; no start stop here. Once she was going there was no stopping her. Held the road well with great grip and really went for it on the straight. Didn't take much to fill her up either. We loved the way she shifted gears as we opened the throttle before she came to a shuddering stop as we paused for a breather. She was hot! We even introduced her to our electric motor which she loved!" Have you read "she being Brand" by e.e.cummings? https://allpoetry.com/she-being-Brand G | |||

The "evidence" you provide simply states that air pollution has decreased since Sadiq Khan became mayor, it does link this reduction to any of his policies or actions. Furthermore the supposed significant reduction in N02 has occurred prior to the introduction and expansion of ULEZ, especially seeing as how the original ULEZ was not in place until April 2019. Now, if the amount of air pollution is already falling at such a dramatic rate it negates the need to push through such a controversial piece of legislation. I suggest that instead of worrying about London's air quality you lobby your local Cumbrian MP to implement your very own ULEZ, I'm sure Cumbrians have a right to be protected from nasty older polluting vehicles too! | |||

"Also is the charge not set for a 24hr period of 0001hrs to 2359hrs, so if you at the club and leave at 0200/0300hrs you will pay again? " Completely correct. You have to be outside the ulez zone before 2359 or you will get charged twice. | |||

"To be honest this thread is a pit pathetic… We’ve know for over 5 years that: + The Euro car makers lied about diesel emissions, and installed cheat devices (you should be angry at them) + That ULEZ was set up by Boris Johnson was going to be expanding to Greater London. + This affects less than 10% vehicles (even my aunt’s 2005 RAV is compliant and that has a lot going wrong with it already) If in the last few years you brought up cheap 2nd hand diesels then that’s your shortsightedness. I have sympathy for tradespeople because vans and commercial vehicles are more expensive but there is tax support, you can claim the charge back. If you can’t pay the charge, just park outside the area - and arrange a Taxi for the 1 mile, someone at the club will probably drive you back to it afterwards. Single guys you can probably manage the walk…" I'm a big fan of common sense so you win the thread. Thank you! G | |||

"I know, how stupid it is. A V8 with stop start classed as some sort of hybrid " Stop-start won’t class it as a hybrid. Stop-start has been a requirement for many years now. To class as a hybrid it needs some sort of electrical power. To be ULEZ compliant, the car has to have emissions below a certain threshold, irrespective of the number of cylinders. The purpose of the charge isn’t to pay to polute. It’s to change behaviour. That’s most noticeable where people have taken to vandalism of the ULEZ cameras. | |||

"The thing with schemes such as ULEZ is that one introduced, they get amended, and expanded. For now, polluting cars pay, buy how long before they simply cannot enter? Mind you, the daily fee will be a lot more by then and once they’ve squeezed as much as they can out of everyone, they will just be banned." Imo ulez will be scrapped, camera can be taken down quicker than they get put up, Without ULEZ most cars will be complient by 2030, and mostly electric by 2040.. Anyone drive a car older than 25 years old?.. even for the poor older cars than this probably isn't cost efficient They'll faise out natrually. | |||

"I live in the local area so my suggestion is to look at the 81 bus route and stay in Colnbrook. You will get free parking in the area during the night. The bus journey is about 3 stops and drops you literally outside the club/McDonald's. And I believe it is a 24 hour bus. And finally of you wanted to crash over then Colnbrook had the Arora hotel (Old, Bath Rd, Colnbrook, SL3 0PH)" Bus sounds like a good idea, although only 1 camera passed going to and from kestrels, and it appeared to be missing when I circled the roundabout on way in last lol | |||

"It maybe worth checking the TFL website for ULEZ as well as a couple of other websites I think you will be surprised as just how many cars are ULEZ compliant.I had a 18 year old Corsa that was ok and now my 3 year old Fiesta is ok" Exactly.I have a 2010 petrol and it’s compliant too ![]() | |||

" I do agree. Simply put, you could drive the worst polluting vehicle known to man but providing you pay £12.50 you can gas as many kids as you like ![]() Just remember that "Punishable by fine" just means "Legal for a price" | |||

"I find the ulez very frustrating, I no longer drive inside it, it's affected my work (self employment) and my social life. My car is only £20 tax a year but not compliant. There's many other people in a similar situation to me. Absolutely crazy that you can drive past Heathrow with all it's planes coming and going, and that's not seen as a pollution problem in the ulez. " I agree ![]() | |||

"Has Kestrels gone out of business yet? Not at all. But your deep concern is very touching…" So it’s not been driven out of business by the Conservative government imposed vehicle restrictions then? That’s good. | |||

" Well I think planes are seen as a pollution problem and they are taxed to some extent (probably should be more) but not within the responsibilities of the London Mayor. It's a case of don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Just because more can be done doesn't mean something positive can't be done. Sorry it causes you problems but perhaps change cars? I think there are still ULEZ compliant second hand cars out there for as little as £2000 (doesn't need to be a new electric as many people often think). There is also a good market for people coming from outside London to buy non-ULEZ cars. I've bought two in the last few years. | |||

"Think you will find that the mayor of London is labour " He was forced to implement ULEZ by the Conservative government in return for funding to keep TFL going during lockdown. | |||

There's many other people in a similar situation to me. Absolutely crazy that you can drive past Heathrow with all its planes coming and going, and that's not seen as a pollution problem in the ulez. Now ulez has been implemented prices for used cars are starting to drop dramatically, as demand has dropped off , December u can grab a bargain , for sure or early next year before the market settles, electric isn’t for everyone esp if u live in London , in an apartment, there’s a change in buyers perception now scared to commit in case market and government policy changes again , any advice please feel free to get in touch I’ve only been in the industry for 30 years so just starting to know what I’m talking about haha Well I think planes are seen as a pollution problem and they are taxed to some extent (probably should be more) but not within the responsibilities of the London Mayor.

"Dont care if he his Labour, cant continue having him as Mayor anymore" And you think the far-right fruitbat Conservative candidate will get rid of it if she gets in? "Oh, well it's here now so I expect I'll have to keep taking the lovely money".... Nah. G | |||

I agree ![]() This is a swinging site and everyone is talking about ULEZ on this post (why is it even here?!) That in itself is disappointingly fucked up. All I read was LEZ (cue the sad single bloke comments, not a problem, not bothered etc). Stop being English and start being sociable. That’s the entry point to swinging surely. | |||

"It's on here because the OP has a beef with the club. Notice he's not referring to any other clubs affected by ULEZ." Its the only one I've been to within the Ulez zone. Eurekas, Chams, Monkey business and Silverleigh are outside of Ulez. | |||

I agree ![]() The prohibitive cost of ULEZ makes being sociable much more difficult for a number of people! It's a policy which has only been implemented to cover the fuck ups of the people in charge of the public transport network in London and the cost of which is being borne by those least able to afford it. | |||
