BATS THE WAY: Anti-Ulez Activists Cover Cameras With Bat Boxes

Campaigners against London mayor Sadiq Khan’s ULEZ charge are hanging bat boxes on camera posts to stop engineers repairing them. Activists have vandalised scores of cameras since Mr Khan’s expansion of the ultra-low emission zone last year. And now the £10 National Trust bat homes have been seen in areas across south and south-west London, including North Cheam, Chessington and Kingston-upon-Thames. Bats are protected by law and it is a criminal offence to disturb their resting places and breeding sites. The newly installed boxes are accompanied by notices reading ’Stop. This is a bat box’. Under a heading ’Bats and the Law’ is a list of criminal offences against bats. #london #ulez #congestioncharge #bats #bat #roads #kingston
