I have been assured by someone who lives in Brompton that the traffic

have
been done in the central area prior to introducing congestion charging
there.

Dunno what or where "Brompton" is, but if it's around Brompton Cross SW3
then those lights are managed by the borough (RBK&C) which opposes the
extension and has no incentive to exaggerate the success of the scheme.

Perhaps they don't, but aren't they just going to over-ruled by Livingstone
anyway; so a change in the phasing now will bring those "disbelievers" round
after he's bullied them into submission?
