Default Congestion Charge Consultation

I'm regretting your vote, particularly after all the fares I commonly
pay were announced as going up between 7.4 and 11.1%. However if you're
happy with the current administration you obviously you like big holes
in the TfL budget, mendacious spin and press bias, fare rises,
congestion, the choice of public transport vehicles based on the
personal whim of someone with no relevant experience, increased
pollution and the scrapping of major improvement projects like partially
pedestrianising Parliament Square (Too expensive! Nasty to motorists!)
and the Cross River Tram. Oh, and consultation in some areas but not in
others, areas that just happen to vote Tory. Brilliant.

What part of reducing traffic on the roads doesn't improve air quality,
anyway?

Tom (just come back through the WEZ in a cab, and it was nice and clear).
