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

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.


What's the situation with the existing CC? Do all London residents get
the discount, or only those living inside the rather small zone itself

Your main home has to be in the zone to qualify, and the vehicle must be registered with the DVLA in your name and at
the address you are using to apply for the discount. Otherwise it wouldn't be a *residents'* discount.

OK, so the same issue applies today for people living just outside the
existing zone, as for an extended zone.

No, as a glance at a map should explain to you.

Why does it make a difference to the inconvenience of a zone on your
doorstep if you are living just the wrong side of Euston Road, or just
the wrong side of the North Circular?

you have to live inside the zone

the reason is that the charge is raised on all cars parked on street in the
zone, even if you don't drive anywhere that day

Will they be doing patrols for such static cars if the zone is extended?

that's what they do inside now

but the huge increase in scale makes that enforcement impractical

which is what Recliner said earlier

So you'll only have to pay of you venture out. Sounds fair enough to me.
