Default Congestion charge to N/S Circular??????

As a disinterested party, I can't believe that anyone is seriously
suggesting this

The N/S Circular area isn't like the central area where everyone inside
it is moderately well off, or lives in a bubble where they can walk/bus
to whatever service that they need.

People who live in the "Circular" area, are people in normal employment
with lives that mean that they have to have a car.

and an annual tax of 5,475 pounds to own one, is bloody ridiculous


If residents get the same 90% discount as with the current CC that'd be
547.5. That'd be a vote-loser but reduce it in respons to the outcry
and you end up with somrthing similar to the 100+ pounds some Boroughs
charge for a residents parking permit and still a nice little earner.
