At Full Council on 24 April, we further outlined our position on ULEZ, deeming the Mayor of London’s proposals as unfair on Sutton’s residents and businesses during a cost of living crisis. Thank you to the members of the public who spoke.

The council have launched a petition which will be handed over to the Mayor of London. Over 4000 have already signed. Add your name by clicking here.
