A damning study warning that Ken Livingstone's congestion-charging scheme would choke London with pollution was "buried" by his officials because it had the "wrong" conclusions.

The confidential study - seen by the Standard - was carried out by engineering consultants Halcrow Fox and sent to Transport for London (TfL) in April last year.

The study says:

• Air pollution will rise when thousands of extra vehicles divert away from the boundary and squeeze onto "rat runs".

• Scope for offsetting this extra pollution will be "very limited".

• Major changes to the inner ring road enabling it to carry traffic from the centre will concentrate pollution.

• Thousands of extra congestion charging signs and cameras could be an eyesore.

• London's ecology could be damaged.

• Sensitive heritage sites could be damaged by signs and cameras.

• There will be increased noise and vibration.

• Impact from construction, associated with setting up the charging scheme.

I fail to see the connection between the proposed London Congestion Charging scheme and your sexual fetishes.

It's been in Southpark, but I doubt if that's the original...

Red Ken.

Another Public servant who's forgotten he was elected to serve the people, not social engineer them out of cars.

With all of this congestion charging and red light bullshit, it's about this little toad was sent to the Tower.........

With the £gazzillion a year he spends getting around in cars (taxis), isn't it about time all the cabbies refused to pick him up in protest? Let the little shit sit on a bus.

I didn't know London had an ecology? I thought that was just Australian bar staff.
