Legally the Mayor is required consult the Assembly before consulting the public on any strategy or proposal to amend a Mayoral strategy.

TfL wrote to the Assembly seeking a response to a proposal for the extension of the Congestion Charging Scheme westwards. The Transport Committee held two meetings in November to discuss with local councillors, residents and businesses in both Westminster and Kensington and Chelsea the proposals for extending the zone.

The Committee believes that the economic effect of the current scheme has not yet been fully understood and therefore it is premature to consider further extension of the scheme until the full impacts of the current scheme and likely impacts of the proposed scheme are known.

As yet there is no indication from the Mayor whether or not he will be proceeding with a full public consultation early this year.
