Transport for LondonCongestion Charge suspended for Christmas
The Congestion Charge will not apply from 24 December until 2 January
Transport for London (TfL) today confirmed that there will be no charge for driving in the Congestion Charging zone on the three working days between Christmas and New Year.
This is the second year this concession has been made.
The Congestion Charge will not apply from Saturday 24 December until Monday 2 January.
It will resume on Tuesday 3 January 2006.
TfL Director of Congestion Charging Malcolm Murray-Clark said: "The Congestion Charge is, of course, about discouraging car use and reducing congestion.
"It's made a real difference to journey times in the zone, reducing traffic levels by 18 per cent and congestion by 30 per cent.
"But, with lighter traffic, there will be no charge for the 10 days between Saturday 24 December and Monday 2 January."
