Congestion charge! nothing is happening so where is the revenue going?
Answers:
It has gone to pay for the biggest ever expansion of bus services in London. There has been an astonishing improvement to buses in London in recent years - there are now more buses running more frequently on more routes and often 24 hours per day. All of them are low-floor, step free, easy access. They are more reliable too. If services fail to run or run badly the operators get fined or have their contracts taken away. That's where the money goes. Thank you Ken. The only problem is that there is still far too much congestion, meaning that journeys are too slow. that's where the congestion charge comes in.
nicely lining the pockets of MPs and ken livingstone
I suspect it is going the same way as all previous revenues have gone, helping to line Blairs pocket, along with all the rest of his cronies.
Well Livingstone has legions of advisers to pay for mostly friends of his, plus foreign jaunts to china, Cuba, USA, etc. not to mention 14 hundred new sets of traffic lights to help keep the traffic moving and saturating the streets with buses which run mostly empty through the day. his most recent jaunt was to be to Venezuela to"buy cheap oil for Londoners" but had to be cancelled when the Venezuelan president refused to see him that little fiasco cost Londoners £52,000
Ken Livingstone no longer has to 'GO' to the red light district to get his daily fix, he can now afford to get the ladies in question to come to him.
And that is where the money goes, because it certainly doesn't go into better roads.
