TfL have opened a consultation on the proposed charges for the Silvertown and Blackwall tunnels

This will obviously have an impact on people living in the south east of London who need to commute to north London by car (and visa versa)  plus wider ramifications for those outside of London

It is a problem that will restrict people on the NE / E / SE and further afield getting across the Thames, (Dartford,  Silvertown and Blackwall crossings all charging) which isn't the samw for people crossing to the west of London 

A side effect could be worse traffic on thw M25 as people choose to go around via Heathrow rather than the East side or going through other parts of London where its free to cross the river (congestion charge not whithstanding)  due to charges.

 

My personal opinion is it is short sighted of the Mayor and will cause more issues than the new Silvertown tunnel solves.

      Yes, I think people who don’t use their food waste bin are less likely to vote Lib Dem or Green or Labour as they think it’s a woke type of thing to do, like solar panels and other renewables.

      But we’re not in Canada so why celebrate their recent election? Wasn’t their winner our Bank of England director up until his defection to his homeland of Canada? He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.

      I expect that they consider it should be a free choice what to do with your waste, and that segregating it is a waste of money, no doubt it's all a woke conspiracy.  I expect that others are more up to speed with Reform policies. I should have asked Nigel when I was drinking with him.  Well within the vicinity of him in Westminster pubs a couple of times.
