The charge is unfair to Londoners living inside the zone I own a motor home which will be changed at £100 a day I have no choice as I live inside the zone if I go away for the weekend it will cost £100 out and £100 back which seems be unfair if I lived outside I could avoid the charge by not coming into the zone this is a fine I thing that the charge should be like the congestion charge with a discount if you live inside the zone.

Mr King
I own a 2001 VW camper van that allows my family and I to take holidays in this country not being able to afford foreign holidays . Old Ken in his bitter short sighted way has even included these types of vehicles in his master plan which I find very short sighted . My camper van is now 7 years old but has only covered 21000 miles way below the national average for cars . We will have to sell our campervan as adding £200 (out and inward journey)to the cost of our holidays is prohibitive . Where as our money used to stay in this country England Scotland Wales and occasionaly Ireland , When I have saved enough money for a holiday now my family will board an exceedingly more polluting aircraft that emmits far more CO2 in one trip than my camper van would do in its life time and my money will be put into another countrys economy . My son who has camped all his short life has seen places in this country that opens his eyes to life and Gods creations educating him, but all this will have to stop because of short sighted Ken ruler of London . My camper van is less polluting than many larger cars and 4X4s but is this the next hit in his plan . Ken aims this at business with fleets of vans or even the single self employed van man who can claim back from the tax man for his commercial vehicle but what about people with camper vans living in this Great City who can not afford to just upgrade to a newer vehicle . We talk alot about carbon footprints these days well Ken take a close look at yours with your plane trips and wasted journeys and then look at the lives of the numerous campers you are destroying.
