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 the local councillors suggested this they would be out on their ears at the next election It's only because Boris is a Tory, and most of the affected LAs are Labour/LibDem run that he has a hope of getting away with this politically but it's still a bag of nonsense socially. It's nothing to do with congestion, but simply a potential way to raise a poll-tax the pay for TfL's huge deficit. we know that but why should car owners in this zone pay for it? It's PT uses that benefited from the fare freeze, they should be paying for that mistake I can't see how they could enforce a hugely enlarged CC zone anyway — they'd need a vast number of cameras and admin support. It would also lose the Tories every London seat (and not just inside the Circular roads). |
