The Ultra-Low Emission Zone is expanding from 25 October 2021. Have you checked your vehicle?

Air pollution is not just a central London problem, with many areas still exceeding the legal limits for pollution across the city. That is why from 25 October 2021, the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) is expanding to create a single, larger zone up to the North Circular Road (A406) and South Circular Road (A205). The North and South Circular Roads themselves are not in the zone. This is part of the commitment by the Mayor and TfL to help every Londoner breathe cleaner air.

Due to a leaking roof the swimming pool at the West Norwood Health & Leisure Centre has been closed for over a week. At the time of writing the staff are hoping Lambeth Council would inspect and perhaps repair the damage this week and the swimming pool could reopen next week. We hope the timeline will not be longer than this. On a positive note the gym remains open and has appropriate social distancing measures in place. Lesiure and gym facilities remain open under the government High COVID-19 alert level.
