Congestion charging will reduce traffic and bring substantial environmental benefits in central London
							It will push traffic out to surrounding areas, increasing air pollution and adversely affecting the quality of city life

We'll send your vote to London Mayor Ken Livingstone.

Charging motorists will raise money for public transport, which more people will use. In London, the average traffic speed is less than 16 km/h. Congestion costs businesses #2m a week and the charge will reduce traffic by between 10 and 15%.

This will have a substantial impact on businesses and residents in surrounding areas. The Freight Transport Association said: "Congestion charging will not reduce commercial vehicle operations in London by a single vehicle and will just put up costs."
