I used to support Livingstone. but now he has gone to far. This is a corrupt idea from a corrupt administration.

Mark Day, Croydon,

Ken is right to want to extend the congestion charge. All those whingers out there who would scrap it altogether should think about the consequences. Permanent gridlock, filth and pollution. Nobody going anywhere. It's right that motorists should pay for the inconvenience that their selfishness imposes upon others. Time for people to grow up and face the fact that cars are of limited use in large cities. Boris won't abolish the congestion charge.

Derek, Uxbridge, UK

Our freedoms of movement ,association ,religion and free speech are being covertly and overtly eroded-do we live in a free country anymore?
What is this really all about - I used to be proud to be English now I just feel stifled.

History will judge this nonsense as an indication of his unsuitability, belligerence and plain insobriety when applied to decision making. As a qualified environmental scientist I can assure you that this is about notoriety and simple revenue raising.

When will congestion stop? Bromley may technically be a part of London but in terms of congestion it is much more like Kent. No matter what arguments can be given, this is simply a money making scheme - robbing the pockets of those who work and live in Bromley

Catherine Dyer, Canterbury, Kent

Bromley does not need the congestion charge... there is barely any congestion.

If they do go ahead with it, those who live in Bromley and Travel OUT everyday should not have to pay... otherwise it is just damn unfair.

'C02 Charge' is just another tax... "Vehicle users already pay a tax based on the amount of CO2 their vehicle emits, its called Road Tax." ... why do we need another?

Jonathan Cousins, Bromley, England

Last time I went on the website for tfl it said there will be new areas added in the near future. So I'm not quite sure about the "secrecy".

And the £25 charge for stupidly polluting cars is a great idea!

Will, Norwich,

Mr Livingstone keeps changing his mind, one minute it is a 'congestion' charge, the next it is a 'CO2' charge. The reality is that he has no idea what he is doing. He just jumps on the first bandwagon that happens along.

Vehicle users already pay a tax based on the amount of CO2 their vehicle emits, its called Road Tax.

I used to vote Labour, now I understand why Mrs Thatcher abolished the GLC, what a waste of money.

Time to use the ballot box to banish Ken the 'Champagne Socialist' and his cronies to the nether regions of politics once more, ideally this time never to rise again!

AM, London,

I'd extend it to cover the entire area within the M25 and raise it to £25 a day.

I'ts the only way to be fair to the children growing up there.

Tim Prawn, Slough, UK

Can we please get this loser out of London politics? He cant be trusted with our money.

Vote 1 Boris Johnson

Ryan, Kent,

The only problem with the congestion zone is that it is not wide enough - I would suggest the "natural" boundary created by the North and South Circular roads and that £8 is too insignificant to be much of a deterrent. Especially delivery vans/lorries Ken should use the hype of a "reduction" to £4 fo entering the congestion zone but that each entry should have the tarriff of £4 - therefore if you enter once you pay £4 however, like sooo many supermarket/mail order/security vans who re-enter the zone many times a day any shortfall in income could be made up here.

Tom Burke, Central London,

Please londoners, lets get livingstone out, its clear he can't be trusted and only doing whats right for his office and not the "interest" of londoners

Tim, Croydon, England

I understand the principle of the congestion charge, unpopular though it may be, it actually makes sense. However, how does a fuel inefficient car cause more congestion than a very "green" car? Clearly it does NOT. This proposed surcharge has nothing to do with congestion, it's a tax of another sort. Whilst the matter of green versus non-green is a legitimate subject for debate, it forms NO part of congestion per se and, as such, is wholly inappropriate. I hope Porsche succeed in gettin Livingstone's wings clipped on this matter!

B Sargent, High Wycombe,

Why do we not face up to the fact that we just have far to many cars on the road at certain times of the day. And no matter what we come up with to control the flow of traffic there will always be voices decent. And has we have seen that with this congestion charge there has been very little impact on journey times across London, so lets scrap it and this time, and bring in system that will work. Not only in London but in all city's and towns in the UK.

Clive, Dartford,, Kent

Its time for Red ken to go. He is using B-liarite sleaze and spin to win reelection and also impose further misery on the motorist. Its time for the people to stand up and get rid of him.

Hamad Lone, London, England

Any benefit deriving from an extension of the "congestion" charging scheme will go straight to Livingstone's coffers, where they will be available for distribution among cronies and unthought out projects. There will be no benefit to the environment or to the areas or councils involved.
