The London [and Durham, it should be said] congestion charge is a big success. Of course there are difficulties with effects on central businesses but overall it seems to be a good thing. Certaily I enjoyed my lsat trip to London far more as a result of clearer roads -and I'm a pedestrian. What I wanted us to notice in this article though is that shape of the new developments about to be teted and the futire impact. "'This is a stepping stone towards developing a distance-based charging scheme not only in London but across the UK.'"
So maybe not a carbon tax but a fairly effective pay-as-you-go road tax. Let's the arilines off, though.
