Scrap it? Extend it? What do you think?
Congestion Charge Western Extension consultation
Wandsworth residents are being urged to take part in a new consultation on possible changes to the Congestion Charge Western Extension. The Mayor of London is offering three options: removing the scheme, amending the charging arrangements or keeping it the same.
None of these alternatives affects the operation of the central London zone - it's just the Western extension, the parts nearest to Wandsworth.
The enlarged zone came into effect in February 2007. Its southern borders include the Earls Court one way system, Cheyne Walk and Chelsea Embankment. Charges operate from 7am to 6pm Monday to Friday
One of the options being considered is a charge-free period in the middle of the day. You can find out more details and complete the online questionnaire on the TfL website or go to http://www.wandsworth.gov.uk/Home/MyWandsworth/Newsextra/congestion.htm for more details.
The consultation closes on Sunday 5 October 2008
