HATED Ulez cameras will be axed on the day Sadiq Khan is ousted as Mayor of London, his main Tory rival vowed.

Minister for London Paul Scully said he will ditch the eco enforcement devices if he wins next year’s election contest.

Mr Paul Scully launches his London Mayoral bid today

Mr Khan is under fire over expanding Ulez to include all London boroughs by August, with drivers of older vehicles facing £12.50-a-day fees.

Mr Scully, who launches his Mayoral bid today, said: “I pledge that my first act as Mayor will be to give the order to turn off all those new cameras on my first day.

“Improving air quality does not need to savage small businesses, charities and people who can least afford this change.”

The Sutton and Cheam MP added: “After what now feels like a three-year apprenticeship for the job as Minister for London, I have delivered real outcomes in government for this great city,

“I believe that as Mayor I can do more to liberate London from the grip of a self-serving incumbent.

“London needs someone who wants its people to succeed, who has a positive vision for its prosperity and, most importantly, can get things done.”
