and a mention for image-thieving-for-profit Associated Newspapers as well. The London Evening Standard checked out the costs. The paper is now suggesting a special type of extended congestion charge zone for the citizens of Kensington and Chelsea.

The difficulty is however that those living in the western zone, a largely residential area, have become used to their resident’s discount and would suffer if traffic levels rose following abolition of the extension. Also, more motorists in the western zone would affect the many cyclists passing through it en route to central London. The answer could be concessions on charging hours so that commuters by road were still discouraged but it became easier to visit shops inside the zone.

So, a nice little congestion-gated community in London then…
