The mayor of London has expanded a scheme offering grants of up to £2000 towards the cost of replacing a car that doesn't comply with the new Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) regulations to all residents of the Greater London area.
The scheme to help cover the cost of replacing a non-ULEZ-compliant vehicle had previously only been available to Londoners receiving certain benefits, but Sadiq Khan has pledged another £50 million to widen its eligibility. Small businesses will be able to receive £7000 to scrap a non-eligible van (with a limit of three vans per company), with the grant for minibuses rising from £7000 to £9000. The £5000 grant for replacing Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles has been doubled to £10,000.
