Euh... Hum... Er... How to say that in the right way...
Apologies for this dramatic post... my helmet was at work actually, which is why I could not find it at home this morning. And of course, because it was in a very weird location, I did not spot it when I arrived and then came here to ask if you guys had seen it...
Sorry again, false alarm...

Loic
When you posted, I could remember you turning up in the helmet and leaving without it, the power of suggestion, eh?

The form for objecting has three boxes:
!.Please use this space to provide your views on the proposed removal of the Western ExtensionPlease use this space to give us your views on the other proposed Congestion Charge changes
Please use this space to provide any other comments you may have
Here are my objections, interested to here your comments....
It's disastrous to remove the Western Extension, it's a giant leap backwards, please don't do this and please try and encourage less use of motorised transport in the Capitol.
Good to increase the congestion charge, well overdue.
The other proposals (Replacing the Alternative Fuel discount with a new Greener Vehicle discount
Making changes to the Electric Vehicle discount
Introducing a new registration charge for 9+ seated vehicles) are all useful in helping people to value the ecological impact of their transport choices when considering investing in motorised transport, but in effect just give a way forward for them to increase the vehicle congestion, I think these are all valid and useful measures for London but should be separate from and unrelated to the congestion charge, we need to implement changes that will cause a modal shift away from personal motorised transport not to more personal motorised transport with a different fuel or bigger cars or ones that require more electricity to be generated...
So in short let's increase the congestion charge and have less congestion.- The introduction of the congestion charge was a bold and important move in one of the most influential cities on the planet, in order for it to maintain any effectiveness it must at least keep up with if not excede inflation to encourage changes in behaviour and attitudes.

yea i would agree with this.
lol. small businesses in most cases have been really hard hit by this extension.
their livelihoods are more important than me wanting to feel safer riding my bike around. imo.
Not only about bikes and your feelings mate, 4,300 Londoners dead each year of poor air, the deaths, the injuries, the poor quality of life for us all, bigger issues involved and if we do manage to cut down on motorised road transport, then we will manage to move goods around, but maybe in a saner fashion...
