Porsche is to make a formal application for judicial review into Ken Livingstone’s new £25 Congestion Charge.
The carmaker said a letter to its lawyers from TfL and London mayor Livingstone rejected its request for changes to the new charge.
Porsche therefore will file for a judicial review and says the mayor then has 21 days to acknowledge its claim.
Responding to the Mayor’s decision, Andy Goss, Managing Director of Porsche Cars GB, said: ‘The new £25 charge will have no meaningful impact on congestion and TfL’s own figures show the anticipated CO2 emissions savings in a year could be equivalent to lessthan four hours of emissions from Heathrow.
‘All it will do is unfairly hit large numbers of drivers in London and undermine London’s attractiveness as a place to do business.
‘We are therefore formally applying for judicial review to challenge the Mayor’s proposals and we are confident we have a strong case.’
