It’s estimated more than 1.5 million people living outside London could be impacted by the proposed new Ultra Low Emission Zone for the capital.

Data from the DVLA suggests 30% of vehicles in the UK do not come within the emission limits.

The Lib Dems looked at the data covering 10 counties, including Surrey and Sussex and found in Surrey alone more than 157,000 vehicles were at risk of non-compliance.

A spokesperson for the mayor said the city’s “toxic air” was leading to around 4,000 premature deaths a year, with the greatest number of deaths linked to air pollution in the outer boroughs.
