Surcharge for diesel drivers in Westminster

Westminster City Council has stated that drivers of pre-2015 diesel vehicles will be charged extra every day to park in the borough.

There will be a 50% surcharge on parking fees for diesel vehicles registered before 2015, which will be rolled out from September 2019. In combination with the ultra-low emission zone and the congestion charge, this could mean charges of over £50 a day.

The extra charge will contribute to a £1 million ‘schools clean air fund’ designed to pay for temporary road closures outside schools, air filters in classrooms, and planting trees to help absorb pollutants.
