More than a dozen ULEZ cameras have been vandalised in a single town ahead of the first day of the London-wide expansion.

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).

Previously it only covered all areas within the North and South Circular Roads.

And this morning 14 cameras, within a mile and a half stretch on the A224 in Bromley, south east London, had been damaged.

The controversial cameras have been spray painted, smashed or had the wires cut at junctions in Court road and Cray Avenue.

Only two of 16 cameras on the stretch of road had escaped untouched.

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".

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."
