I am objecting to the plans in the draft Mayor’s Transport Strategy, mainly Some drastic proposals that could be very expensive, and which Londoners would have to pay for. We are effectively asked to provide a blank cheque to the Mayor, who doesn't even give an idea of the cost. Any extension of the Congestion Charge. Sadiq Khan had promised us he wouldn't extend it. Any new ways of paying for road use being imposed, such as allowing the Mayor to set the rate of Vehicle Excise Duty (road tax). Councils being asked to achieve traffic reductions that will force us out of our cars. Making councils consider a workplace parking levy – why should people be taxed on going to work? The implication that someone else knows best whether my journey is or is not essential. The sweeping assumption that using a car is necessarily less efficient than other forms of transport. Reallocating road space away from cars. It makes congestion worse. Similiarly unnecessary street closures and car-free days. Unnecessary large population increases which can only add to pressure on road space. Any plans that will cut the convenience or availability of car parking near stations and bus stops. Anything that reduce the availability of private car parking Measures s to discourage car ownership, such as car-free and car-lite developments. You should be providing more parking not less. Parking charges that stupidly discriminate on emissions rating.. Any vehicle parked with its engine turned off won’t have any emissions. The silly view that streets are for people not cars. Cars don't drive themselves. People drive cars as part of their quality of life. Overall the Mayor's Transport Strategy is seriously prejudiced against motorists. The lazy lack of alternative proposals that don't hit motorists.
