More than a dozen ULEZ cameras have been vandalised in a single town ahead of the first day of the London-wide expansion.<br /><br />The Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding so drivers face paying a daily £12.50 charge to drive in all London boroughs from today (29).<br /><br />Previously it only covered all areas within the North and South Circular Roads. <br /><br />And this morning 14 cameras, within a mile and a half stretch on the A224 in Bromley, south east London, had been damaged.<br /><br />The controversial cameras have been spray painted, smashed or had the wires cut at junctions in Court road and Cray Avenue.<br /><br />Only two of 16 cameras on the stretch of road had escaped untouched.<br /><br />The expansion, which is expected to add £2.5million a day to City Hall coffers, has sparked city-wide protests and accusations Mr Khan has "declared war on motorists".<br /><br />The mayor defended the expansion, saying: "I am not prepared to stand idly by when we have the ability to save lives and tackle the climate crisis."
