Does anyone know the latest on the proposed £25 congestion charge for high CO2 vehicles "inside M25"? :confused: I thought it was about now that a decision was to be published?

I found this on the TFL website, and don't recall it appearing on here before, if it has, apologies, I could not find it. Anyway I thought it worthwhile to post, for those of you who want to express an opinion in the consultation period. Consultation closes on October 19th...

Hi, I am just a little confused about this road fund licence and congestion charge thing???? I have a 2002 (new shape) CLK 320 and was just wondering what is going to happen about the road fund licence and congestion charge issue, I have read conflicting reports, some saying that the car...

Well I`m thinking of changing my 300e 24v saloon for a nice 420 or 500 sec but I have to drive into London several days a week for work, I carry lots of equipment and so public transport is out. Is the £25 congestion charge increase for cars over 3 litres pretty certain to go through? If so...

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"...

....... being used to track terrorists by scotland yard. Part of the data protection act is being waived to allow it. A good use for the technology, or an infringement on civil liberties?

Here are a couple of important points:- 1. Mayor Livingstone has announced that there will be a £25 congestion charge in London on 'gas-guzzlers' from 2009, while the standard charge will be £8. 2. BUT NOTE it is levied only on cars in the highest CO2 emissions band which is band G. 3. NOTE...

This story from the BBC: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/6146442.stm beggars belief. I believe we are not allowed to make political comments on the forum so I will merely say that I am glad I do not live in London and I pity anyone who is unlucky enough to live within the...

no wonder the roads are so congested if they are letting these on our roads. was it raining when he left Watford gap?

I am visiting London on the 16th Dec and staying overnight. I plan to leave my car at The Mayfair Car Park which I have been assured is out side of the Congestion Charge Zone, now my question I will be staying 128 Piccadilly, I believe this is within the zone. Am I right in thinking if I drop...

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. I could sort of see the logic of the central zone - a mostly business area with plenty of public transport...
