    Congestion Charge "consultation"

    For what? So VED Band G and equivalent vehicles (above 225g CO2 per km), as well as those registered pre March 2001 with engines larger than 3,000 cc, would pay £25 a day London Congestion Charge. Naturally this has been put into terms of evil "gas guzzlers", "4X4" and "saving the planet"...

    Penalty Charge Notice Road Traffic Act 1991 (as ammended)

    I'm guessing from the title, you guessed what this thread is about. What you probably don't expect is that it has NOTHING to do with my car... Actually, nothing to do with ANY car! Let me start at the beginning... once upon a time, in a faraway land, there was a parking attendent with a...

    Congestion Charge Extension

    Ok, so it may not immediately affect those outside London. But it will in years to come as the principle spreads, what with the money Labour are offering to town councils to bring it in.

    £8 Congestion charge

    Not very long ago Red Ken was saying that the £5 charge would not be increased for maybe 10 years. Now less than 2 years in a £3 hike and a prospect of more Congestion Charging Zones. Why? You may think this is on sound social & environmental grounds, certainly being sold that way. But the...
