A scaffolder has won a legal ruling that signs for London‘s Low Emission Zone – the sister scheme of Sadiq Khan‘s hated ULEZ – are not lawful.
Noel Willcox, 48, ran up fines of £11,500 for driving a company truck to and from a depot in Harefield, North West London.
Drivers at the wheel of highly polluting vans and HGVs must pay up to £300 a day under the Low Emission Zone (LEZ) or face huge penalties.
Mr Willcox, from Berkhamsted, Hertfordshire, refused to pay and took his appeal to a tribunal, which ruled in his favour, saying Transport for London (TfL) signs for the LEZ were not ‘authorised and lawful’.
He told the Sun: ‘The Road Traffic Act states if there is a risk that motorists are going to be charged, you have to let them know.
