ILondon Heathrow ibhengeze ukuba ilungele ukwazisa iseti yamanyathelo amatsha anzima ukukhusela umgangatho womoya wengingqi, ukunciphisa ukuxinana kunye nokulungisa ukukhutshwa, njengoko isikhululo seenqwelomoya siqhubeka nokusebenzisa isikali saso ukunceda ukusombulula imiceli mngeni kwindalo esingqongileyo.
Isikhululo senqwelomoya sase-UK kuphela esibeka izicwangciso zokuzisa iintlawulo zeenqwelo zabakhweli kunye nazo zonke izithuthi zabucala. Oku kubandakanya isikhululo seenqwelomoya sokuqala seZiko loKukhupha uMhlaba elisezantsi (iHeathrow ULEZ), emiselwe ukwaziswa ngo-2022. I-Heathrow i-ULEZ izakwazisa ngobuncinci imigangatho yokukhutshwa kwezithuthi efanayo ne-ULEZ kaSodolophu waseLondon yeemoto zabakhweli kunye nezithuthi zabucala ezingena kwiipaki zemoto okanye ziyeke -Iindawo ezingasebenzi nakweyiphi na iitheminali zikaHeathrow, iiyure ezingama-24 ngosuku, iintsuku ezisi-7 ngeveki. Ixesha elingaphezulu ngokuvulwa komgaqo weenqwelo-moya omtsha osuka ku-2026 kunye nokuphuculwa kokufikelela kwezithuthi zikawonkewonke kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya, iHeathrow ULEZ izakutshintshela kwityala lokufikelela kwizithuthi (VAC) kuzo zonke iimoto ezihamba abantu, iiteksi kunye nezithuthi eziqeshisayo zabucala eziza kwiipaki zemoto okanye ziyeke -indawo ezingasasebenziyo. Injongo kukujongana nomthombo ophambili wongcoliseko lomoya lwasekhaya- izithuthi zendlela- kunye nokunciphisa ukuxinana ngokukhuthaza abantu abaninzi ukuba basebenzise iindlela ezizinzileyo zokufika nokubuya kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya.
Izindululo zokuqala ze-Heathrow ULEZ inokubeka inani lokuhlawuliswa phakathi kwe- $ 10-15, ngokuhambelana neerhafu ezibekwe nguSodolophu kumbindi weLondon. Iinkcukacha ezichanekileyo ze-Heathrow ULEZ ziya kuqinisekiswa xa uHeathrow engenisa isicelo sakhe sokugqibela seDCO sokwandiswa emva kothethwano noluntu. Ingeniso evela kuzo zombini ezi nkqubo iya kunceda ukuxhasa ngemali amanyathelo okuphucula izithuthi ezizinzileyo, ukufaka isandla kwimbuyekezo yoluntu kunye nokunceda ukugcina iirhafu zesikhululo seenqwelomoya zifikeleleka njengoko isikhululo seenqwelomoya sisiya sikhula.
Isibhengezo sanamhlanje siza ngexesha apho amanyathelo afunekayo ukukhusela umgangatho womoya wengingqi ngokutshintsha ishishini kunye nokuziphatha koluntu. UHeathrow ngoku uza kujoyina iLondon kunye neBirmingham njengommandla wesithathu wase-UK ukumisela ityala kwezona moto zingcolisayo.
Ngaphaya koko, uHeathrow wenza konke okusemandleni akhe ukunciphisa ukusetyenziswa kwezithuthi ngokukhokelela kutshintsho kushishino ngesiCwangciso-qhinga soQeqesho esiza kujoliswa esiza kuphehlelelwa kule veki izayo kwaye siza kugxila ekunciphiseni kakhulu inani lohambo loogxa bethu ngemixube yenkuthazo, ukuthintela ukupaka kunye notyalo-mali kunxibelelwano olutsha lwezithuthi zikawonkewonke. Isikhululo seenqwelomoya sityale imali engaphezulu kweebhiliyoni zeerandi kwisibonelelo sikaloliwe kwaye sibonelela ngaphezulu kwe- $ 1 yezigidi ngonyaka ukukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa kwezithuthi zikawonkewonke ngommandla wokuhamba simahla, inkxaso yeenkonzo zebhasi kunye negalelo kwizikim zothutho oluzinzileyo lwasekhaya.
Okwangoku isikhululo seenqwelomoya esidityaniswe kakuhle e-UK, iHeathrow ixhasa ngokupheleleyo izicwangciso zokuhamba ngomgaqo kaloliwe ngowama-2040 ngokuphucula amakhonkco ezothutho athathela ingqalelo ukwaziswa kwe-Elizabeth Line, i-Piccadilly Line ephuculweyo, kunye noqhakamshelwano lomgaqo kaloliwe ovela eNtshona nase Mzantsi .
Ekuqaleni kwale nyanga iHeathrow ikwapapashe ingxelo yesicwangciso sonyaka sozinzo - UHeathrow 2.0 -Ichaza indlela isikhululo seenqwelomoya esijongana ngayo nefuthe lenqwelomoya kunye neminye imisebenzi. Amagqabantshintshi abonakalisiweyo kwingxelo lulondolozo-mali olubalulekileyo olwenziwe ukukhawulezisa ukukhutshwa kwezinto kunye nokukhawulezisa ukubhabha kombane, ukuxhasa injongo yesikhululo seenqwelomoya ukungabinayo ikhabhoni ngo-2020 kunye nokusebenzisa isiseko se-zero carbon kwisikhululo senqwelomoya ngo-2050. Amanyathelo abandakanya iprojekthi yokubuyisela ii-peatland zase-UK ukuze zisuse ukukhutshwa kwekhabhoni, izithuthi zombane ezingakumbi kunye neendawo zokutshaja, utyalomali kuphuhliso lwezibaso ezizinzileyo, isithembiso sokurhoxisa iintlawulo zonyaka zokufika kwenqwelomoya yokuqala okanye inqwelomoya eyenzelwe rhoqo eHeathrow, kunye nophando kwiziseko ezizayo zokuxhasa inqwelo moya zombane kunye neetekhnoloji.
Isigqeba esiyiNtloko saseHeathrow uJohn Holland-Kaye uthe:
“Ulwandiso lweHeathrow ayilulo ukhetho phakathi koqoqosho nokusingqongileyo - kufuneka sikwenzele zombini. Isibhengezo sanamhlanje sibonisa ukuba sizakuthatha izigqibo ezinzima ukuqinisekisa ukuba isikhululo seenqwelomoya sikhula kakuhle. ”

U-Heathrow uzakuthetha-thethana nezindululo zesicwangciso-qhinga sokufikelela kumphezulu, kubandakanya i-Heathrow ULEZ kunye ne-Heathrow VAC, kudliwanondlebe olusemthethweni malunga ne-masterplan ekhethwayo yokwandiswa eza kuthi isungulwe nge-18 kaJuni. Uluntu luza kuba nethuba lokunika ingxelo ngezindululo zethu njengenxalenye yokubonisana.
Ngelixa imfuno yezophapho yezizwe ngezizwe kulindeleke ukuba inyuke kumashumi eminyaka ezayo, iHeathrow iza kusebenzisa isikhundla sayo sobunkokeli ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukukhula kuhlangatyezwana nayo ngendlela enoxanduva nezinzileyo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya sase-UK ekukuphela kwayo. Izicwangciso zokwandisa i-Heathrow zibandakanya ukuzibophelela ekungakhuphi nakuphi na umthamo owongezelelweyo kwisikhululo seenqwelomoya ukuba oko kuya kuba nesiphumo esithe ngqo ekwaphulweni kwezibophelelo zomgangatho womoya osemthethweni wase-UK.
