Good news for Londoners…
…at least the kind without cars. Seems the congestion charge is doing it’s job according to the 4th annual report. Congestion levels have dropped 22% since the charge was introduced and more importantly air pollution has decreased by 13-15%. I appreciate that for people who have to drive into London on a regular basis the charge is, at best, unwelcome, but with the benefits been so obvious it’s hard to argue against the spread of similar schemes to other cities. On a broader note it’d be nice if Westminster had the willpower to implement similar “grand plans” to preserve our health and environment.
