Raising revenue whilst preventing a social vice happens all the time. The government makes a lot of money from tobacco and alcohol. Having a car in ED when you don't absolutely need one is a social vice and should be treated in the same way

I understand that he's moving back to Italy so it's perhaps a lifestyle move as much as a business one

No but, on reflection what's the point? It's happening anyway. As an afront to right wing, car loving, climate deniers however it's wonderful

Totally fair point Rocket. There is clearly healing to be done and I hope Labour govern for all, not the few. Unfortunately, I think environmental issues will raise many more tensions going forward and we will all have to balance the ideals of an orderly democratic process (and I agree ULEZ and CPZ have not exactly been that) with the climate crisis. And I say climate rather than air quality because neither scheme is in my eyes really about air quality - they're forming the basis for future policy on all vehicles.

Whilst I'm sure that true, Labour also know that softening on environmental issues is the surest way to split the Left vote.

I'm not sure what you're seeing that I'm not but that is about as solid a judgement by the judge as you're ever likely to see

Exactly why I support it. ULEZ provides a base that can easily be expanded to include all polluting vehicles in future

I think Labour will be absolutely fine. The last time London voted Conservative in GE was 1992. The last time Southwark had a Tory MP was for 4 months in 1880 and 1815 before that.

So basically, "it's not perfect but it's fine". Not a basis for a challenge

Hope he catching every person who does parks there. 'll go get him an Oddono's for his hard work

Victory for ULEZ and a great day to be a Londoner. Clearly shows the Mayor's determination on vehicle control policies and hopefully an indication on the will to push through CPZs

Victory for ULEZ and a wonderful day for London that clearly shows the Mayor's determination on vehicle control. Hopefully this carries through to CPZs

Absolutely, I do. And any cost is 100% worth it because some things are more important than a few extra quid in your wallet.

Hi all, If you go by this forum alone, you'd think that there is no support for the CPZ. I wanted to provide a way for people to express their endorsement of this policy to provide a more complete picture. A minority of people in Southwark own a car but those that do have a greatly outsized impact on pollution, road accidents and climate change in one of the best connected cities in the world. It is only fair that those that cause a greater role in those issues should bear a greater cost. If you feel that the CPZ is a positive move by the council to improve our lives, here is one avenue to express that: https://moderngov.southwark.gov.uk/mgEPetitionDisplay.aspx?ID=50000040&RPID=9100964&HPID=9100964&$LO$=1

I have just submitted a petition in SUPPORT of the CPZ. Will provide the link when approved by the council. Only fair that the council sees that there are two sides to this story. If the.car lobby gets a hearing, would be wonderful for the other side to get one too
