    LOW EMISSION BUS ZONES: EVALUATION OF THE FIRST SEVEN ZONES November 2018 LOW EMISSION BUS ZONES: EVALUATION OF THE FIRST SEVEN ZONES COPYRIGHT Greater London Authority November 2018 Published by Greater London Authority City Hall The Queen’s Walk More London London SE1 2AA www.london.gov.uk enquiries 020 7983 4000 minicom 020 7983 4458 ISBN Photographs © Copies of this report are available from www.london.gov.uk LOW EMISSION BUS ZONES: EVALUATION OF THE FIRST SEVEN ZONES 3 Introduction In August 2016 the Mayor of London announced London’s first Low Emission Bus Zone programme. A total of twelve Low Emission Bus Zones are planned across London. This report reviews the progress to date now that over half of the Low Emission Bus Zones are in operation. All the remaining zones will be complete by the end of 2019. What is a Low Emission Bus Zone? Low Emission Bus Zones use buses with top-of-the-range engines and exhaust systems that meet or exceed the highest Euro VI emissions standards1. The zones have been prioritised in the worst air quality hotspots outside central London where buses contribute significantly to road transport emissions. All TfL buses operating in the central London Ultra Low Emission Zone will meet the Euro VI standard from April 2019. The first zone was introduced along Putney High Street in March 2017 and was followed by a second Low Emission Bus Zone between Brixton Road and Streatham High Road in December 2017. All 12 zones are set to be completed in 2019 and form a central part of the Mayor's far- reaching plans for a drastic clean-up of London's toxic air.

  • Putney Heath, Proposed LIGS London Borough of Wandsworth, TQ 231 732 (Best Exposure) Ownership: Local Authority
    Guide to London’s Geological Sites GLA 25: Putney Heath, Proposed LIGS London Borough of Wandsworth, TQ 231 732 (best exposure) Ownership: Local Authority. Open access. Putney Heath Putney Heath has been selected as a site of local importance for its exposures of Black Park Gravel. The area cited is a plateau on the top of the wider parkland area which becomes Wimbledon Common to the south. This plateau also extends into adjacent Richmond Park to the east, separated by the valley cut by the Beverley Brook which flows north into the Thames. Black Park Gravel The Black Park Gravel is the oldest of the Thames Terraces, deposited immediately after the retreat of the Anglian Ice Sheet about 400,000 years ago (Oxygen Isotope Stage 12-11). On Putney Heath the height of the top of the exposure is 53 m which falls within the range of Black Park Gravel recorded from elsewhere (eg Hornchurch Railway Cutting SSSI, GLA19, and Mark’s Warren Quarry Complex,GLA 37, in East London) (see BGS Special Memoir, p. 61-64 and reference 1 below). At Hornchurch it overlies the glacial till abandoned by the retreating ice sheet of the biggest of the Ice Age glaciations, the Anglian, the only one to extend to London, although it never reached as far south as Putney. The graveI contains a larger proportion of exotic fragments than the later gravels as a direct consequence of its proximity to the icesheet that carried clasts from all over the country. As in the other Thames gravels by far the greatest proportion of the pebbles are flints.
