...to the congestion charge.

See the BBC news story here

Much as we need to reduce the amount of traffic I, for one, am pleased at the outcome. This charge was always fataly flawed in that it concentrates on forcing motorists off the road by taxing them more. It was doomed to failure in concept and, knowing the ineptitude of the local authorities, it would never have been administered fairly anyway.

Howe can you trust a local authority that purposely puts the postal ballot at a time when postal traffic is at the highest peak anyway and then spends our money telling us to vote yes?

Maybe now we can concentrate things that will make a real difference without pricing those that can least afford it off the roads. I have a few ideas myself - More use of home working and the internet is one minor one. What do you think is likely to suceed as an alternative to the congestion charge? Re-regulate buses and trains? Incentives to travel outside peak hours? Others?

Cheers
