Porsche Wins Legal Fight over London’s Congestion Charge

[PanterroR]

Porsche has won the legal battle against the increase in the London congestion charge. The proposed congestion charge that was the brainchild of former London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, would have seen the increase of the daily levy to enter the city’s center from £8 to £25 in October.

Boris Johnson, Mayor of London since the beginning of May, was never a supporter of Livingstone‘s plans as he publicly stated that the £25 congestion charge was wrong and quite possibly even unlawful. The agreement also included the award of legal costs, however Porsche said that it will donate these costs (expected to be a six-figure sum), to the British youth charity, Skidz.

Haha Well Boris has a lot on his hands right now. He's got to sort out the bloody knife crimes that are destroying the city. As for the congestion charge it's a must or else the city would be clogged up with cars and nobody would be able to get anywhere. It's a shame that the congestion charge isn't affecting the rich.

Well things worked pretty well even before they brought it about and it hasn't exactly brought about a drastic change anyway. Its just another london 'milking' scheme. Like all them bloody speed cameras! More to do with revenue than anything
