Low emission street plan for East London

The London boroughs of Hackney, Islington and Tower Hamlets are proposing a ban on petrol, diesel and older hybrid cars entering two ultra-low emission street zones in Hoxton and Shoreditch during weekday peak hours (07.00-10.00 and 16.00-19.00). One zone would cover seven streets and the other two streets. The restrictions would be enforced by automatic numberplate recognition cameras. Residents would face no restrictions if they register for an exemption. A four-week consultation on the plans closed this week
