Four London councils – Hillingdon, Harrow, Bexley, and Bromley – have jointly warned Transport for London they could take court action if the Ulez expansion goes ahead.
Harrow alone has set aside a fighting fund of £400,000 and says it would take its case forward even without the support of the other councils.
The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has told council leaders they’re “wasting a huge amount of your precious local-authority budgets and money raised through your residents paying council tax”.
He urged them: “Instead of pursuing an expensive legal challenge funded by local residents, I would hope you would work with me to help clean up the dirty air that’s blighting our city and the lives of those we represent.”
