Whilst ULEZ has helped to reduce carbon emissions and harmful nitrogen oxides by up to 46 per cent in central London, there are still several other sustainability initiatives we must consider to make a real impact.

When it comes to cycling in cities, cyclists don’t typically have a designated space on the road, and often have to switch from pavement to road in order to maintain their safety. This can be difficult for both pedestrians and vehicles to navigate and can ultimately create more dangerous situations.
