Today Sian Berry challenged the Mayor to go back to the Government over an important gap in penalty charge rates, which is costing London around £10 million a year. Three years ago the Secretary of State for Transport blocked an increase in penalty charges for parking illegally on a red route, which would have matched the penalty charge for not paying the congestion charge. Sian argues it is time to go back and challenge the Government on this again when they are asking London increase fares and council tax, and blocking charges for dangerous behaviour on London's roads.
