Public consultation on western extension starts today
A five-week public consultation on the future of the Western Extension of the Congestion Charging zone begins today. Anyone with an opinion on the Western Extension is invited to take part. The consultation was an election pledge made by the Mayor and he is particularly keen for local residents, retailers and businesses within or on the borders of the extension to take part. The Mayor of London, Boris Johnson, said: “Whenever I head to the west of our city I meet people with strong opinions on the Western Extension. But when my predecessor held a consultation on this important issue he completely ignored its results. Unlike him I have the utmost respect for the opinions of Londoners and I hope that thousands of them will take part in the consultation.”
