I think expanding the ULEZ at the current time is absurd - especially given the Mayor's concern on TV at the pressure of the cost of living crisis.  Forcing those with older cars to scrap the aged model and pay the costs for a replacement at a time when supply is simply not there is really not understanding the impact of this type of change on the cost of living.

Alternatively people could just not have a car...

Great idea - all our essential service providers like nurses could rely on public transport and walking poorly lit paths to ensure that we have the care we need at the hours we need it.  I'm sure they'll be delighted at the prospect of a cold and wet walk home after a long shift with antisocial hours.

We're talking about London, a city with plentiful public transport - and more can be provided if there is demand. 

Street lighting can be made better, but the majority of car owner/drivers in London are not essential workers.

Indeed they are not. It is a widely-reported fact that large numbers of key workers cannot afford to live in London, and have to commute from areas outside where public transport is much less plentiful, and may not even be an option at all for shift workers.
