Another congestion charge plan failed ...
Discussion
York. Residents voted it down.

To quote, "The two favoured options were improving bus services and creating a freight depot on the outskirts of the city."
Begs the question, if there were other options (such as better busses and moving freight out of town), why were they not tried exhaustively before contemplating congestion charging? Answers on a postcode please (but I suspect they won't fail to mention the fact that improving busses and moving freight depots cost money, whereas congestion charging make money for the council. Once again, motorists are viewed as little more than wallets on wheels. Bravo to the residents of York for making their opinions known.)
