Default Western Extension Scrapped [Congestion Charging]

"Tom Anderson" wrote ...
There is talk of a loss of 70 million in charge revenue, though. I'd like
to see this made up by increasing the central charge, but there's no
prospect of that happening, so i suppose it'll have to come out of the
budgets for public transport, cycling, and black lesbian mime groups or
whoever it is that Boris hates this week.


Black lesbian mime is *ok* this week; perhaps TfL could simply axe the buses
they added for the western expansion (they won't be able to move, anyway!).
That would be much of it.

But I wouldn't count on Boris not raising the CC charge; 2010 is a long time
after his election, after all.
