Diplomats still not paying CC
I am glad to see that TfL have not forgotten the unpaid congestion charge bills of? diplomats in London. As it almost 20 years ago l brought up the issue at the London Assembly as a new AM representing all Londoners, as l saw it as an abuse of Londoners hospitality particularly in Central London.?
I also brought it up under Boris Johnson administration when he was Mayor of London between 2008 & 2016. The diplomats should be shamed into having to pay up these fees due to TfL. Can you imagine what could be done for Londoners public transport options if we had ￡144 million to spend on their priorities, as reported by TfL this week in the Evening Standard.?
The charge is not a tax under British law as the charge is not dissimilar to the charge you pay to get into Manhattan UN HQ via its bridges and tunnels. If its good enough for British diplomats to pay in New York then why not here with US and other countries diplomats. It is of direct benefit to diplomats, as it helps give them more space on the roads of Central London. So do pay up asap and lets avoid a diplomat incident over it all annually.?
Transport for London, Are disgraceful they would rather chase innocent people like myself Thank you for making my life difficult! I am self employed yet you are wasting my time over a PCN that you are claiming that I don’t owe you! You’re staff are rude and inefficient & lack any form of empathy. You are determined to give me the run around for nothing you are a disgraceful faceless organisation that aren’t accountable. Rather than wasting my time with needless correspondence be nice if you reached out to help me rather than have me jump through hoops I shouldn’t! I will now invoice ?? you for my wasted time. I would rather take this to. Court than give you a single penny I don’t owe you. You are everything that is associated with what is wrong in this country!
