did anyone vote for more taxes on themselves to cover the cost?

How about we cover the cost from the billions of profits made by car companies selling internal combustion engines and lobbying against change?

I effectively voted for the Ultra Low Emission Zone although it will increase my taxes. At least I wrote go for it in the residents survey.

As the article suggests the cash cost of the electric busses may be zero with a longer deprecation period.

Against that "pollutants linked to one in 12 deaths in parts of London." Which would you choose? https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families...

No but diesel owners who have for decades had a nice subsidy from my pocket have been :-(

Probably have to offset that with the reduction of cost to the NHS of pollution related illnesses.

Outside of TfL and absent a "diesel scrappage scheme" the cost would be born by primarily by private individuals anyway.
