Extending congestion charging: your feedback
During the 10-week public consultation on extending the congestion charge
into parts of Kensington and Chelsea, 133 residents emailed the Council with
their views. Of those, 130 opposed the Mayor of London's plans and only three
supported his plan to extend the zone.

'Any measure that could reduce traffic in our borough should be welcomed'
'Surely it's just one of those actions that requires a little self sacrifice
by some of the residents of K&C for the greater good'
'Why the council feels mandated to oppose this measure is beyond me'
'London rapidly becomes a place which only houses the rich'
'The proposed congestion charge appears to be more a revenue generator than a
congestion remover'
'This would be disastrous!'
'If I had to take my daughter to the hospital during the core hours, I would
have to pay £2.50 - this is an outrage!!!'
'We need a break from the charges, until our wages are in line with realistic
living rates'
'Extension of the congestion charging is a ruse to tax more and nothing more'
-
'What is the point in having a borough if you are just going to draw up
borders within it?'
'A travesty of justice that appears almost gratuitous'
'Sheer madness!!'
'This would simply be a disaster for parents and school children as well as
retailers and shoppers'
'The Royal Borough has been targeted because of its perceived wealth'
'Kill the city if you like, but I will be one of those that moves to foreign
climes together with many others [Orwell London 1984]'
'NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!….AND JUST IN CASE YOU DID NOT UNDERSTAND…..NO!'
'Please do not create a no man's land of the Earl's Court one-way system'

'Calling it a congestion charge when it is levied in an uncongested area is a
misrepresentation and in some business quarters, illegal and punishable'
