As anger mounts over Sadiq Khan\u2019s Ultra Low Emissions Scheme (ULEZ), one man has brazenly claimed to have dumped more than 100 enforcement cameras in a pond.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile the London Mayor has revealed the shocking levels of abuse he has been subjected to since the scheme was rolled out across the Capital in the summer – including being sent a bullet in the post.<\/p>\n

In accordance with the scheme, which applies in all 32 London boroughs, all vehicles failing to comply with emissions standards are required to pay a daily charge of \u00a312.50.<\/p>\n

Mr Khan argues the scheme will cut pollution – but critics have branded it a stealth tax on motorists.<\/p>\n

One of them, speaking during an anti-ULEZ demonstration in Biggin Hill in south London, claimed to be a scrap metal dealer who gets \u201ceight phone calls a day to collect ULEZ cameras for scrap metal\u2026from the people that have cut them down\u201d.<\/p>\n

After collecting the cameras and their frames, paying \u00a3100 for each, the man, who refused to give his name, told Politico he sold the latter for scrap.<\/p>\n

As for the cameras themselves, he added: \u201cI pay for them, off the people, and then I chuck them in the pond. I benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n

He had got rid of 100 cameras in this way, he boasted.<\/p>\n

Mr Khan himself also offered an insight into his reasons for approving the scheme in the first place – as well as the stress he has been under ever since.<\/p>\n

  His attention was first drawn to the issue by clean air campaigner Rosamund Adoo-Kissi-Debrah, whose daughter Ella died, aged 9, in 2013, with an inquest directly attributing the tragedy to asthma caused by London\u2019s high levels of pollution.<\/p>\n

  He said: \u201cRosamund changed my life. Ella changed my life.<\/p>\n

  \u201cI\u2019ve got skin in the game, Ella humanises air pollution in ways that no speech, article or interview I can do.<\/p>\n

  \u201cThe struggles she\u2019s had – it\u2019s gotta be worth something, right?\u201d<\/p>\n

  Mr Khan also said the decision to enforce ULEZ had come at a high personal cost, explaining: \u201cI\u2019ve received death threats on a whole host of issues, from my views on Trump to my religion. This is the latest incarnation.\u201d<\/p>\n

  One individual close to the mayor, speaking on condition of anonymity, claimed anti-ULEZ protesters have regularly turned up on Mr Khan\u2019s doorstep in South London home – even when his two daughters were there alone.<\/p>\n

  Additionally, a caravan was chained outside his house with slogans and artwork including swastikas, the insider claimed.<\/p>\n

  Earlier this month, during a town hall meeting, a man shouted that in centuries past, Mr Khan would have been hung \u201cfrom the gallows\u201d.<\/p>\n

  In October a letter addressed to Mr Khan was found to contain a bullet.<\/p>\n
