New London traffic charge comes into force

Recommended Posts

Drivers of older, more polluting vehicles now have to pay almost twice as much to drive in central London.

Mayor Sadiq Khan's £10 T-Charge, which mainly applies to diesel and petrol vehicles registered before 2006, has come into force.

It covers the same area as the existing congestion charge zone, bumping up the cost to £21.50 for those affected.

Opponents said the scheme would "disproportionately penalise London's poorest drivers".

Its Amazing how we British put up with such things as congestion charges, Tolls etc...... obviously these are always done in our interest, IE: save journey time or cut pollution. Never to increase revenue or a new revenue stream.
