In a letter to lawyers acting for
Porsche, TfL and Mayor Ken Livingstone have rejected a request from
Porsche for changes to the proposed introduction of a new £25 charge on
some vehicles entering London.
Porsche will therefore file a request
for judicial review. The Mayor will then have 21 days to acknowledge the
Porsche claim.
Responding to the Mayor’s decision,
Andy Goss, Managing Director of Porsche Cars GB, said: “The new £25
charge will have no meaningful impact on congestion and TfL’s own
figures show the anticipated CO2 emissions savings in a year
could be equivalent to less than four hours of emissions from Heathrow.
All it will do is unfairly hit large numbers of drivers in London and
undermine London’s attractiveness as a place to do business. We are
therefore formally applying for judicial review to challenge the Mayor’s
proposals and we are confident we have a strong case.”
