congestion

I am a little confused with a PCN i got. On Sunday i traveled up to London, was staying in a hotel for 5 nights with work. There is no congestion charge on a Sunday. And i drove back on Friday. My thinking was that the congestion charge is only applied when you enter London not when you...

I had to visit clients in Durham this week and took a wrong turning into the center of Durham, along with several other cars, I might add. My Sat Nav started to warn me of a route that contained charging tariffs’. As soon as I could I turned around and left. After reading another thread on...

Last week had a summons to pay London congestion charge. However, it wasn't our car. It was someone who had copied our plate and put it on another C-class. I guess they saw the car awaiting delivery from the South London dealers and cloned it. I'm in Hong Kong and been that way for a...

Hi We have received a con charge, as I like to call it fine for apparently going being in the charging zone without having paid for the privilege. However, I asked my wife which route she had used and she is adamant that she hadn't gone into the zone. The issue lies in that the road that...

Hi everyone, In February my job took me to Strand, London. It was an eventful day (too longwinded to post here) and I recall entering the congestion charge zone. Oops I thought.. I never heared from the authorities and assumed, because of this, (although I'm not sure of the congestion...

Tuesday this week I had to drive into the Congestion Charging zone in London, and I vowed to myself that I'd sort it out and pay when I got home.. As it was, I had a terrible day and was stuck in traffic on the A2 around New Cross on the way home which took well over 2 hours to get through.. I...

BBC News article here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/7778110.stm apparently the voter figures were about 4 to 1 against. I voted against in the referendum even though I would very rarely get charged by it (I live in the centre and work outside the city, so I go against the flow...

YES!! Boris announced today he's scrapping it! Stupid idea in the first place. Opposed by 75%-95% of people in various official poles before and during the scheme. No effect on air quality. Congestion actually went up! (90% discount for residents wanting to drive into the West End....)...

In a rare example of politicans doing what they said they would do :rolleyes: , Boris Johnson, Mayor of London is to scrap the Congestion Charge Western Extension, as promissed when he was running for election earlier this year. Consultation produced 28,000 repsonses. 67% of residents and 86%...

I am driving to London in the morning and was wondering is there still a charge for entering London? I have to go to the Knightsbridge Hotel and apart from being nervous about driving in a big city I recall there used to be a charge for entering an area. Does this still apply? Cheers.

I was under the impression that the various coucils involved had rejected congestion charging in Manchester yet yesterday an information pack arrives on my doorstep telling me that this is on the way!!! Views...
