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. only for the first vehicle many families are going to have 2 the discount is limited to one vehicle per /resident/ not per household. See Annex 3 to the Order: "At no time may particulars of more than one vehicle be entered in the register, in relation to any one individual who is a qualified resident." "As part of temporary changes to the Congestion Charge, the residents' discount is closed to new applicants" ...to discourage car ownership in the CC zone. I suggest they'd never get away with that within the N/S circulars. Apart from anything else a lot of Assembly Members (and MPs) would be clobbered. but it's potentially being imposed upon these people by national government the opposition parties looking for re-election locally can argue that they have clean hands by my count, the Tories have 2 constituencies and 1 assembly seat in this new CC zone, not already inside the old one I had in mind MPs from other constituencies with accommodation inside the zone - plus others such as Dominic Cummings I'd imagine that it would also severely impact people living or working just outside the Circular Roads, and they wouldn't even have the option of a resident's discount. I suppose this confirms that the Tories have completely written off their already very slim chances of winning the London mayoralty next year. I took that as given when Bailey was selected There were rumblings about replacing him with someone electable, but nothing came of them. Find an electable tory at the moment. -- Graeme Wall This account not read. |
