Hello all


I?m in favour of the ULEZ expansion which is due to be implemented in October 2021. Mainly because one of my kids has asthma so I?m hoping the expected reduction in pollution will help.


But I?m curious how it will be enforced in ED, as I haven?t seen new cameras anywhere. It seems like it would be pretty easy to drive around ED and not trigger any cameras. So without the threat of being fined/having to pay the ULEZ fee, what?s the incentive for people to switch to lower polluting cars?

Maybe check out what?s currently the case for the existing ULEZ scheme ?

AFAIK they?re just extending the boundary so I?d expect the boundary provision to be the same but further out from central London, and the admin/rules for within ULEZ zone to be the same/similar.

I live on a road which ends on the South Circulsr so just in the zone. Cameras appeared over the summer just inside the junction so they?ll definitely trigger those crossing into. I?m guessing there will be some internal zone ones too. I know people in town who have moved their car within the congestion zone and been charged so expect same principle.

Not sure you've sensibly thought through your comment, bud. It's not even Southwark's scheme.

#SouthwarkDerangementSyndrome

You're looking for a black lamppost about 6m high, with a camera on top instead of a lamp. They are located to cover every junction between the South Circular and all roads on the "inside London" side of the circle. Sometimes they're 100m or so inside the boundary- not necessarily right on the corner.

Great question! I've been waiting years to hear what others in the area think on this topic.


FWIW I don't see how TFL can place a camera on every corner or street in the expanded zone hence why I haven't bothered selling my old diesel. If I do end up with a camera close-by, I shall pay the ?12.50 per day. It's cheaper for me than buying a new car.

Here's a photo of one in Underhill Road.

The problem with thinking you can avoid the cameras is that you don't know you've been fined until a few weeks later when the PCN arrives and if you did the same journey several times, several PCNs can arrive at once and give you a very big shock.


If you set up auto-pay with TFL, then you pay ?10 instead of ?12 and if you get caught on camera without knowing it, at least you won't get a PCN.

They're certainly on all the junctions with the south circular from what I've read. There will be loads of local journeys you can make without getting caught, but they're so short that you may as well walk or cycle unless you can't.


As with others we only use the car twice a month so paying the charge is still cheaper than buying a new car (our current one is only worth ?250). It does irk a little that these are long journeys out of London and only involve a half mile journey down Lordship Lane to the south circular, but will take it on the chin.

That was my understanding.

TfL: "A daily charge runs from midnight to midnight. If you drive within the ULEZ area across two days, for example before midnight and after midnight, you will have to pay two daily charges."


Charges only apply to cars driven, not parked.

Oh really?


Is that true


That may be a game changer for me if so. I thought it was ?12.5O for every day your car was within the zone, parked or driven?


Can somebody post a link which states the rule very clearly and unambiguously, please?


Obviously when I say is that true, I'm not referring to Lowlander's figures 🤣

    • Nothing to do with the tories overspending whatsoever eh! Blame the last 10/11 years of blatant mismanagement, incompetence and willful deceit on the poor bastards that were left with the fall out of a complete car crash tory government.   One PM after another falling on their sword. Open corruption and piss taking throughout covid and a legacy of huge debt and destruction yet in your view it will be labour's 4 years in power that bankrupts us in 2029.  Another one that must think people are blind and stupid.  Rejoice rejoice. It's a pity he and his fellow clowns were completely annihilated at the ballot box. I mean they were doing so well after all 🙃🙃
    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest.
