LONDON’S new T-Charge starts tomorrow (Monday October 23rd 2017)
Hey!Don’t shoot the messenger!
I’m ready for the ‘Stuff London....London stinks....It’s a dump....It’s full of foreigners....Wouldn’t be seen dead in the place....Glad I live where I do....La-di-da
BUT,BUT, BUT..... I’m trying to save you money and hassle here!
From tomorrow (date above) a new T-Charge starts, so don’t venture into CENTRAL London if your vehicle is, generally speaking, registered before 2006. Be careful also if visiting the central area with a private van, or car of similar age when visiting rellies or the like.
The T-Charge is an ADDITIONAL £10 on top of the existing Congestion Charge of £11.50, so owning a vehicle of this vintage will be charged £21.50 per day. Failure to pay will get you a fine of £130 (£65 if you cough up within 14 days). The charge applies to both diesel AND petrol vehicles.
Remember that this only applies to the central area covered by the existing LEZ and not to the whole of Greater London. Those whizzing (Ha Ha) around the M25 are not affected by these new measures.
(However, it’s sometimes easy to get lost and ‘clip’ the charge zone if you drive through central London).
It’s too lengthy to cover in detail here, so please refer to the tfl (Transport for London) website for times, exceptions etc.
Just a heads-up folks; don’t shoot me!
Oh and........
The ‘T-Charge’ is the first of a series of new rates being introduced in London. It is an interim measure and due to be replaced by a stricter ULEZ (Ultra-Low Emission Zone) in 2020, although Mr Khan (London’s Mayor) is consulting on bringing this forward to 2019.
This will apply 24 hours a day every day and mean diesel cars registered before September 2015 and petrol cars registered before 2006 will face a £12.50 charge.
The mayor hopes to expand the area covered for cars and vans up to the North and South Circular roads in 2021.
