The Mayor's office is so terrified of people seeing the dodgy data underpinning its ULEZ claims that will not publish it.
FOI made on the 12 February still unanswered.

@Togetherdec They say that their *workings out* are in the public domain.
They are not in the public domain.
They are hidden.
If they exist at all.
I suspect that they do not.

@Togetherdec While we wait for TFL and other offices of the London Mayor about #ULEZ to admit to democratic scrutiny of his ideological agenda, read our @Togetherdec @ClimateDebateUK reports on the data that *is* available.

By the way, in #London, The #ULEZ Expansion being implemented by Mayor Khan ...

Labourās āFairer Greener Futureā involves #ULEZ extending into all of Greater London, Pricing the poor & self employed out of Cars/Vans! It involves even bigger Taxes on #Energy firms whoāre already quitting #NorthSea projects because of Super Windfall taxes already in place! 1/
JP Morgan Chief like me thinks weāll need Oil/Gas for another 50yrs or face a depression. Labour plans to scare that all away from UK so weāll have to pay fortunes for imports. Meaning poorer #Energy Security. In future Wintersā no #Electricity meaning blackouts. Wind + Solar 2/
Will be nowhere near enough to cope with increasing demand. If we have Colder winters weāll be screwed. They also agree with Govt on #HeaterPumps & Insulation which bag of fag packet costs Ā£200Bn + Ā£72Bn minimum. OffshoreWind remains at Ā£140MWR which is higher than normal #Gas 3/
#ULEZ trending, so here are some air pollution facts:
For every 10 microgram per cubic meter (Āµg/mĀ³) of increased exposure to PM2.5, the risk of dying from any cancer rises by 22 percent.

But that's not to say air pollution is distributed evenly.
For those opposing #ULEZ, ask yourselves:
Is it fair that people who canāt afford a car are the same people whose health is most affected by toxic fumes from traffic?

Cleaner air is coming to outer London.

Our city is being smothered by toxic airāand it's hurting and killing Londoners, leading to asthma, dementia, and even cancer. Air pollution particles have even been found in the livers and brains of unborn babies. We cannot stand idly by and allow this to continue.
Today Iāve also announced support to help make this change easier for Londoners, including a new Ā£110 million scrappage scheme, which will help Londoners on lower incomes, disabled Londoners, micro businesses and charitiesā¦

If you want to understand what the serous health impacts are, of diverting all daytime traffic from #LTNs to the main roads where pedestrians are concentrated, take 5 minutes read this excellent thread by @LittleNinjaUK
Now watch this short vid @mayorofhackney explains #LTNs deliberately divert all traffic to main roads where residents are walking to schools, work and shops. He wants to reduce overall traffic but only @TfL can restrict traffic on main roads. No joined up approach. Deadly.
