Cameras and signs for ULEZ are set to start appearing throughout Slough after the council agreed to the controversial proposals.

Slough Borough Council are the only council bordering London to have agreed to have signs and cameras on the approach to the M25.

Transport for London has been met with strong opposition from other neighbouring councils including; Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Essex, Surrey and Kent.

As of August 29, Transport for London will be expanding the ULEZ area, bringing it up to Slough's border with the M25.

It means that vehicles travelling past the M25 bordering Slough are at risk of being charged £12.50 a day under the new tariff.

Those driving a petrol car registered after 2005 typically meet ULEZ standards, and diesel cars registered after September 2015. 

The zones are aimed at improving air pollution and improving public health and were first introduced on April 8, 2019 in central London.

Cameras at the border and in the ULEZ zone record your number plate and issue a daily fixed rate for your journey if your vehicle does not meet emission requirements.

You will be notified of this charge and be requested to pay within 21 days.

Approximately 1,400 cameras will be used to enforce ULEZ.

A Slough Borough Council spokesperson said: "We have agreed to the placement of ULEZ signage and cameras within our borough boundary at the eastern end of town where our boundary meets with the boundary of London.

"There is no effect on residents by the placement of the signs.

"Residents may be affected by ULEZ itself but only if they travel into London by a vehicle which does not meet the ULEZ criteria as with the current ULEZ zone."
