Your regular reminder that it wasn?t ?the vast majority of residents? but the vast majority of respondents. Two very different things, yet some struggle to tell the difference.

Good idea - unfortunately it?s got the stage where no matter what a councillor says some will twist it and interpret it in a way to suit their agenda. Cllr Leeming was helpfully informing people of the Thames Water works, he?s right it probably will be quicker to walk or cycle if you can possibly avoid driving. That?s true of most travel in London.

It's easy to spot a pro LTN person on EDF.

To be fair I think a lot of people take offence to his tone and his, sometimes, pointed and demeaning tweets.


I am not sure what value adding the comment below brings to his thread, other than trying to have a dig:


Remember, this is the responsibility of Thames Water not the council


Either that or he is really worried about losing his seat and feels the need to spell it out to people! Pretty sure most people realize the water main has nothing to do with the council!

These threads can get abit personal at times??

Every now & again I take a peak but can?t be asked comment 🤨


London is a city for gods sake??. You will never get country roads/lanes down here!

All these LTN?s are helping nobody other than the councils/government fill their pockets!

If you mistakenly think for a second the government care about you, then I suggest you think again!


LTN supporters can support them all day long, all these past, present & future charges they are talking about are affecting the consumer?? the bottom line is everything is about clawing money from us for whatever they wish to use it for, we will always be worse off no matter how climate friendly you are!


Yes I know my post isn?t about the south circular, I?m sorry, but I just wanted to say something

Btw, I?m a driver & drive for a living but do not own a car simply because I don?t need one.

Interesting that you identified someone as pro-LDN because they had their facts straight. 🤔

      Taxes

      Wow I had no idea they give you 5% in perfume for your accommodation. You're right, I need to travel more.

      Taxes

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Do none of you go abroad.  Tourist taxes are really common in continental Europe and do vary a lot city by city. They are collected by the hotels/rental apartments. They are usually a  tiny part of your holiday costs.  In Narbonne recently we paid €1.30 per person per night.  The next town we went to charge 80 cents per person per night. By comparison Cologne is 5% of your accomodation.

      Taxes

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Hey Sue, I was wrong - I don't think it would just be for foreign tourists. So yeah I assume that, if someone lives in Lewisham and wants to say the night in southwark, they'd pay a levy.  The hotels wouldn't need to vet anyone's address or passports - the levy is automatically added on top of the bill by every hotel / BnB / hostel and passed on to Southwark. So basically, you're paying an extra two quid a night, or whatever, to stay in this borough.  It's a great way to drive footfall... to the other London boroughs.  https://www.ukpropertyaccountants.co.uk/uk-tourist-tax-exploring-the-rise-of-visitor-levies-and-foreign-property-charges/

      Taxes

      By David Peckham · Posted

      Pretty much, Sue, yeah. It's the perennial, knotty problem of imposing a tax and balancing that with the cost of collecting it.  The famous one was the dog licence - I think it was 37 1/2 pence when it was abolished, but the revenue didn't' come close to covering the administration costs. As much I'd love to have a Stasi patrolling the South Bank, looking for mullet haircuts, unshaven armpits, overly expressive hand movements and red Kicker shoes, I'm afraid your modern Continental is almost indistinguishable from your modern Londoner. That's Schengen for you. So you couldn't justify it from an ROI point of view, really. This scheme seems a pretty good idea, overall. It's not perfect, but it's cheap to implement and takes some tax burden off Southwark residents.   'The Man' has got wise to this. It's got bad juju now. If you're looking to rinse medium to large amounts of small denomination notes, there are far better ways. Please drop me a direct message if you'd like to discuss this matter further.   Kind Regards  Dave
