Transport for LondonCongestion Charge consultation
The public consultation on the proposed changes to the Central London congestion charge runs from Tuesday 7 December 2004 to 28 February 2005.
The proposed changes are outlined in two Variation Orders:
Variation Order No. 4:
- Proposes changes to the Scheme in order to discontinue the fleet notification scheme from October 2005.
- To reduce the administration charge for making amendments (e.g. start date or Vehicle Registration Mark) to the detail of a charge which has already been paid from £5 to £2.50.
- To reduce the administration charge for residents registered for the 90% discount making a permanent substitution to the registered vehicle (e.g. when purchasing a new vehicle) from £5 to £2.50.
- To reduce the administration charge for residents registered for the 90% discount making a temporary substitution to the registered vehicle (e.g. for a courtesy car or hire car) from £5 to £2.50. The administration charge to reverse the temporary substitution (i.e. re-registering original vehicle) would also be reduced to £2.50 from £5.
- To raise the charge from £5 per charging day to £8 per charging day.
- To raise the charge from £5.50 per charging day to £7 for vehicles on the automated fleet scheme. This is a result of increasing the charge, but removing the additional 10% charge for vehicles on the automated fleet scheme and also providing a £1 discount (comparable to that for longer period charges available for frequent non fleet users).
- To raise the charge from £5 per charging day to £7 for vehicles on the notification fleet scheme. This is as a result of increasing the charge but also providing a £1 discount (comparable to that for longer period charges available for frequent non fleet users).
- To discount longer period charges as follows:
- 20 days (monthly charge) for the price of 17 days (3 days uncharged).
- 252 days (annual charge) for the price of 212 (40 days uncharged).
The information may also be inspected at all reasonable hours at the offices of Transport for London, Faith Lawson House, 15 Dacre Street, London SW1H 0DJ.
