So, I've been looking at replacing the two 'dailies' as the above will all to quickly come into effect and found this page.

https://tfl.gov.uk/modes/driving/ultra-low-emissio...

Makes interesting reading.

Despite the [extensive] media coverage of this stupid bit of taxation I've not heard anything of the Resident's Exemption period (3-years btw). You have to register. Indeed Mr Khan's reply when asked 'what are people supposed to do who can't afford this charge?' was 'They can buy a new car.' So I do hope that this link is 'current'.

No link or instructions how to register though.

So looks like we London based TVR owners have a bit longer to enjoy our cars without paying a priviledge tax.

What is the residents area for registration Stuart? The scameras to track this are on a couple of the main roads walking distance from me but I suspect I am not a resident.

Also, I think that this starts on the A21 near Green St Green which is a bit wider than the supposed south circular statement.

Consultations like this one are joke - in a few weeks the period for implementation was Brough forward by over 2 years and facts such as the highest emission area in London are car free zones that came to light were ignored.

At least the Boxster is exempt....

I don't think this is consultation.

As for the boundary, well the link refers to residents within the zone. So outside the zone get squat.

In fairness Euro 4 for petrol engines is quiet an old standard - Euro 6 is the current if I understand correctly.

At least with an excepmtion those in London can travel out of London without charge so maybe a time to relocate a few of the regular meets. biggrin

You are right it isn’t a consultation. There is one going on but fundamental decisions have been made and it hasn’t finished. https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/environment/air-q...

London? nono

Isn't that the name for that traffic jam that exists inside the M25?
TVR driving heaven (if you have Arnie's left leg and fancy giving it a workout).

Hi Anthony, traffic jams indeed! If I go into town, it’s cars and if I take the lanes towards the green stuff it’s cyclists. Hundreds of them on sunny days!
