FURTHER concerns have been raised about the impact of the Government's lowemission zones on the equestrian industry.
Expansion plans for London's ultra low-emission zone (ULEZ) have been given the green light, so from 29 August the zone will expand across all London boroughs, with the aim to “help clear London's air and improve health” across the area.
Under the ULEZ scheme, cars, vans and horseboxes up to and including 3.5 tonnes that do not meet the emission standards are subject to a daily charge of £12.50. Horseboxes over 3.5 tonnes do not need to last reported on them (news, October 2020).
