The expansion of London's Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to the very borders of the Home Counties (Surrey, Kent, Hertfordshire, Essex) has sparked a fierce jurisdictional row. Several South East councils refused to allow Transport for London (TfL) to erect ULEZ warning signage or cameras on their land, arguing the £12.50 daily charge disproportionately punishes their residents who drive into London for work but have no vote in the Mayor of London's elections. They contend that without improved public transport alternatives (like the Superloop) reaching into the commuter belt, the charge is purely punitive. Proponents of the expansion argue that air pollution drifts across administrative boundaries, causing thousands of premature deaths, and that obstructionist councils are prioritizing dirty vehicles over public health.
