"London mayor Ken Livingstone today announced plans to raise the congestion charge to £25 for so-called 'Chelsea tractors'."

Beautiful. And there's more...

"Drivers of the least polluting cars will receive a reduction on the current £8 daily charge."

Tiered congestion charge, based on emission. Things like this are a joy to discover :)

   Now this is what I call good news. The congestion charge may put some people off travelling into London, but not enough (walking through every day I admire the cyclists but curse the private car drivers, especially the ones in ridiculously large, flash cars).
   
   £25 a day will hopefully discourage some users - it's certainly going to hit them more than the higher rate of car tax they have to pay.

   It's just a shame that it wont be until 2008..... should be much sooner than that.

   I applaud anyone brave enough to cycle to wherever they need to go there should be more safe cycle lanes.
