    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    More than 300 cameras installed for London’s Ultra Low Emission Zone (Ulez) were vandalised or stolen between April and August, the BBC can reveal.

    TfL is planning to install a total of 2,750 cameras before the expansion comes into force at the end of August.

    Abbie Mires, who works in the area, said the “harsh action” of targeting Ulez cameras was justified.

    Husband and wife, Roy and Linda McKensie had to get rid of two cars ahead of the Ulez expansion, but said they did not agree with cameras being tampered with.

    The only figure the BBC has seen was an estimate cost of the planned expansion from November 2022, which was about £159.5m based on assumptions at that time.

    This includes spend for systems design, development and testing; on-street infrastructure design, procurement and delivery including camera installation and signage; marketing and media campaign; and legal and consultation costs.
