A caravan covered in ULEZ protest slogans has been chained - outside Sadiq Khan’s house.<br /><br />The vehicle was spotted by locals near the Mayor of London's home in Tooting, London on Sunday morning.<br /><br />It is decorated with warnings including "ULEZ will be your Poll Tax Mr Khan" and claims "ULEZ is a cash grab".<br /><br />The van also features a picture of the mayor accompanied by a speech bubble stating: "Pay me £12.50 and you can pollute for 24 hours."<br /><br />It comes as the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is due to expand to all London boroughs, including Tooting, on August 29 (Tuesday).<br /><br />One local, who spotted the caravan, said the expansion of the scheme has sparked anger among people in the area.<br /><br />The resident said: "I saw the van this morning driving up towards the common. I burst out laughing I had to get a picture of it.<br /><br />"The mayor has lived here for years and it's never bothered anyone. <br /><br />''But all of a sudden these cameras have appeared so now people are really angry.<br /><br />"No one wants these new zones and they're really going to impact people. <br /><br />''If you can afford the fines or a new car you can crack on, but if you can't you have to spend thousands."<br /><br />ULEZ operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year, except Christmas Day.<br /><br />The zone currently covers all areas within the North and South Circular Roads but is expanding to cover all London boroughs on Tuesday.<br /><br />If a vehicle doesn’t meet the ULEZ emissions standards and isn’t exempt, drivers need to pay a £12.50 daily charge to drive within the zone.<br /><br />The local resident continued: "I'm having to look for a new car myself. <br /><br />"My elderly in-laws have had to get rid of their perfectly good Skoda and pay thousands for a new one so they can see their grandkids.<br /><br />"This scheme will be like Covid all over again. It will banish the elderly to stay in their houses. <br /><br />"If you can afford it you're fine. But what if you can't. I think the mayor hasn't understood how people feel about it."
