From October 27th, drivers of high-polluting cars will have to pay £25 to enter London's congestion zone. The charge applies to vehicles which emit over 225 grams of carbon dioxide per kilometre, which includes most 4x4s and some people-carriers. Drivers of these vehicles who live inside the congestion zone will also lose their right to a 90% discount on the congestion charge. The lowest-emitting cars will be exempted altogether. For all other cars the charge will remain £8. The plan was announced on February 12th by Mr Livingstone, who said the increased revenue—which he put at £30m to £50m—would be spent on improving the capital’s cycle network.
