I heard about the congestion charges a few years ago, when I visited the UK. I went to visit my Dad and he drove me through London, complaining about the (then) £5 charge. Now it’s what, £8 a day?

Ken Livingstone however, is trying to push through a further push for heavily polluting vehicles. My question though is this - has he got all his city’s vehicles to be the lower band? Has he got the rubbish trucks, the police cars, the official vehicles to be hybrids? I think he should do that before pushing citizens to pay £25 a day for 4×4’s…
