Life in the slow lane

By: Language: English Series: Municipal Journal ; 22 August 2002, 11(1)Publication details: 2002Subject(s): Summary: Discusses congestion charging in London and other cities. Argues that after Westminster Council's application for a judicial review was lost the charging scheme for the capital now seems inevitable. This is despite its apparent unpopularity. Notes that some other areas of the UK such as Durham are starting to develop schemes for charging but other places like Leeds, Bristol and Edinburgh are sensibly waiting for significant improvements in public transport before charging the public.
