Porsche has announced its intention to make an application for judicial review of the proposed extension in the London congestion charge.<\/p>\n

The German carmaker says that the new increase due to start on October 27 is unfair. It argues that the 3025% increase from 80p to \u00a325 is \u2018disproportionate\u2019 and that it will do nothing to achieve the stated aim of decreasing emissions in central London.<\/p>\n

Andy Goss, Managing Director of Porsche Cars GB, said, \u201cA massive congestion charge increase is quite simply unjust. Thousands of car owners driving a huge range of cars will be hit by a disproportionate tax which is clear will have a very limited effect on CO2 emissions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Porsche will be writing to the Mayor, Ken Livingstone this week. The Mayor will then have 14 days to respond to the carmaker. If the Mayor fails to respond to Porsche\u2019s letter or refuses to reconsider his plans, Porsche intends formally to submit its application for judicial review at the Royal Courts of Justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
