Sadiq Khan will suspend London\u2019s controversial Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ) scheme later this month in a 24-hour freeze.<\/p>\n

The daily \u00a312.50 per day fee will once again be completely axed later this month on Christmas Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, London\u2019s \u00a315 Congestion Charge will also be axed from Monday December 25 to Monday January 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The drop in charges will mean families can travel to see relatives completely free of charge on the big day.<\/p>\n

ULEZ charges will be stopped when the clock ticks midnight on Christmas Day.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, fees will return again at midnight on Boxing Day meaning those returning from family get-togethers may still be caught out.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Offering a free day is relatively uncommon for motoring schemes with the Dartford Crossing still taking payment regardless of the day.<\/p>\n

But, London\u2019s Low Emissions Zone (LEZ), covering heavy goods vehicles, lorries and vans, will still be in operation.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Transport for London (TfL) said: \u201cThe Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, except Christmas Day (December 25). The Low Emission Zone (LEZ) operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year, including weekends and all public and bank holidays.\u201d<\/p>\n
