JivingDaddy Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 For those of you living in London that may have missed this little goodie!! Thanks to the Mayor of London (well done Boris, you've lost my vote), it looks like I can scratch my Defender project idea. It seems that any Defender older than 2001 will be subject to a 100 pounds a day charge from 3 Jan 2012!! 36,500 a year to drive an old defender within what is most of the M25 boundary?! I think not. http://www.tfl.gov.uk/tfl/roadusers/lez/areaofoperation/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jad Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 have you really only just found out?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJB Serenity Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Have you not noticed any of the 2 million signs that have been up around the out-skirts of the Greater London area for the last 3 years??? Don't panic, not all Defenders will be caught. Read up on it a bit more and you will see that many vehicles will be compliant. Also, it's not Boris' fault. It was Red Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JivingDaddy Posted January 14, 2011 Author Share Posted January 14, 2011 Yep, just found out. A mixture of being thick and living abroad since 2003. I have found out that it's Red Ken who should shoulder the blame, not BoJo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
