NEXT week Ken Livingstone's congestion charge area in central London will be doubled to include Kensington and Chelsea. If London's mayor had invited residents in the area to use the internet to express their opinion of this extension it would probably have received an emphatic No thanks. The Transport Minister, Douglas Alexander, recently gave citizens an opportunity to respond by means of an online petition to his proposal for an experiment in road use charging by means of satellite. To date 1.3 million people have signed a petition criticising and rejecting Mr Alexander's idea and more than two million signatures are expected by the time the site closes next week.
