A low-emission monitor erected in the middle of a secluded cul-de-sac has infuriated residents who now face a £12.50 charge every time they exit their driveways. The Mail has the story.

People living in Headley Close, in Chessington, will be snapped every time they leave their homes to go to work in the morning and when they return – much to their fury.

Many have lashed out at Transport for London’s (TfL) “stupid” decision to place one of Sadiq Khan’s hated Ulez cameras on “a little road nobody knows about”.

Headley Close has a row of garages at one end of the street, mainly used by van drivers, and is situated in the borough of Kingston where the controversial ultra-low emission zone will spread to on August 29th.

But a boundary anomaly means when they exit the street onto Chessington Road they will be in leafy Surrey, in the borough of Epsom and Ewell. 

The border also sees a part of the A3 Kingston bypass in the Surrey borough cutting between the low-emission boundary to leave Chessington on a ‘Ulez island’.  

Quite why a camera has been placed facing the entry of the road has left many people livid with the technology set to be switched on in under two weeks.

Those with non-compliant vehicles – most commonly those registered before 2006 for petrol and 2014 for diesel – will now be £12.50 out of pocket every day their tyres make contact with and exit the road.

The feelings among those who live in the 30 red-brick homes in the quiet road are epitomised in a nearby street where a Ulez camera has been beheaded, modus operandi of a Blade Runner. ...........more........
