Musings on a bus!
Cllr.John Beanse, Chairman of Chingford & Woodford Green Liberal Democrats & Waltham Forest Councillor for Hale End & Highams Park ward, writes:
"After a speaking engagement recently in West London, I decided to do most of the return journey across London overground and travelled by bus to Liverpool Street. An interesting journey, but particularly slow in some parts. I remember that in the past, the Conservatives have called for the scrapping of the congestion charge in Central London and could not help wondering therefore just how much longer this journey would have taken without it. It will therefore be interesting to see if it will still be Conservative policy in next year’s GLA and London Mayor elections to abolish the charge and if so, just how they would propose to manage London’s traffic problems."
