What happened
Sadiq Khan introduced the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) across Greater London and is also pushing for a ban on domestic wood-burning stoves in private homes across the city. This move follows the ULEZ expansion and Low Traffic Neighbourhoods. Meanwhile, James Cleverly launched a bid to challenge Khan for the Mayoralty, criticizing Khan's policies, including the ULEZ charge.

Why it matters
The expansion of ULEZ and the proposed ban on solid fuel burning introduce new regulatory burdens and costs for residents and businesses in London. The political rivalry centers heavily on these environmental policies, which affect motorists and consumers.
