\"041206bpor\"<\/a> In its fight with London over the congestion charge<\/a>, Porsche GB has commissioned a survey about the 25\u00a3 tax on the highest polluting vehicles.<\/p>\n

The poll revealed that 74% of Londoners believe the new scheme is unfair. What\u2019s more interesting is the percentage of people who voted for Ken Livingstone at the last election: 65% also think the new scheme is unfair compared to 35% who believe it is fair and not high enough.<\/p>\n

As usual, a new tax brings suspicion on its real purpose and the congestion charge doesn\u2019t avoid it. 62% of Londoners think the Mayor only wants to raise extra money through the new scheme instead of cutting congestion and improving the city\u2019s environment.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the poll, Andy Goss, Managing Director of Porsche GB, said: \u201cLondoners agree that the Mayor\u2019s plans to introduce a massive new charge for larger vehicles is totally unfair and is more about squeezing money out of motorists than trying to help the environment. The Mayor should take the chance to reconsider his plans before he leaves us with a system that risks damaging London and irritating massive numbers of people.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
