520			_aA survey of central London businesses carried out on behalf of London First, reveals that they are largely unaffected by the congestion charge and contradicts a London Chamber of Commerce survey earlier this year that blamed a 60% downturn on the charge. Three quarters felt that their profit margins were unaffected by the charge and 91% had not changed the way they operate. However, most felt it too early to tell how the charge would affect London's overall economy. The survey results are available from London First, at http://www.london-first.co.uk/press_centre/newsreleasedetail.asp?L2=106&NewsReleaseId=2093.
