Wrong. The aim should be to reduce *pollution*, not to reduce polluting
vehicles. What's worse, a hundred polluting vehicles entering the zone
once a year each, or a single polluting vehicle entering every day?
Obviously the latter.


Changing it to "reducing the number of polluting *trips*" encompasses
both ideas, but still shows that its the regular commuters/deliveries
rather than people visiting Auntie Flo on her birthday who need to be
discouraged.


Something that might help somewhat, and would be virtually free to
implement,would be to make the congestion charge apply 24/7 rather than
just on weekdays.


The ULEZ will indeed operate 24/7, but the charge will be in addition to
the congestion charge:

There will be a 'sunset' period for some existing vehicles, giving their
owners time to replace them:

Otherwise, the main vehicles to be hit will be all but the newest diesels.
