Settling for the best

Your car certainly is one of your most valuable assets, something that we at 24 7 Parking recognise. Like most of your possessions, you are, with relative certainty, very protective of your vehicle. Our service delivery will fail no doubt if we neglect to provide a service without the protective aspect of car parking provision.

Perhaps you are in search of a parking option that provides sheltered or undercover parking spaces, as it is sometimes known, for your vehicle. One of the major benefits of sheltered parking is that it provides shelter against the elements of nature, and maybe even crime.

Sheltered parking is best for the seasoned flight commuter who wants to have peace of mind knowing that you will find your car in the exact location and in the same condition on your return from that all important business meeting.

You are destined to discover at 24 7, some of the best underground parking London boasts. Part of our success and longevity since 2002 is that we have a knack not for only spotting infrastructure trends in and around London, but we are able to utilise such trends to the best of our valued clients benefit.

We understand your wants, and that includes understanding that you do not want to return from a rather successful business trip without having consulted and perhaps even ascribed to our innovative ideas for excellent parking in London solutions.

Our purpose at 24 7 is to make you re-think your current parking in London practices, and perhaps settle for not less than what your car is worth, during times when you are not able to attend to it.

Congestion charge exemptions to be reviewed

Tuesday, August 25th, 2009

Campaigners trying to change the criteria for exemptions from the congestion charge have claimed victory after London’s mayor and Transport for London (TfL) agreed to a review.

The campaigners say that the rules for congestion charges have not kept up with improvements in car technology since the charge was launched in 2003, and argue that the charge should be based on the level of emissions rather than on technology. Their argument is backed up by the fact that there are now some 20 conventional car models that emit the same or less carbon than other models currently exempt (such as the second generation Toyota Prius).

TfL will announce the findings of its review later this year, and if it finds in favour of the change, thousands of petrol and diesel-driven cars will be able to enter London’s charging zone for free. Currently there are 14,170 drivers of one of the 20 non-hybrid cars emitting less than 105g/km CO2 who have to pay the £8 charge, while drivers of hybrids and electric cars are exempt.

The unfairness of the current rules is highlighted by the fact that a 4 X 4 Lexus hybrid is exempt from the charge even though it emits 192g/km CO2, almost twice the amount of today’s most efficient models and considerably higher than the national average. Also exempt is another Lexus hybrid, the LS 600h, which emits 219g/km CO2.

Critics of the proposed change, including the Campaign for Better Transport, argue that the mayor should not accept it, since the point of the congestion charge zone is not so much to reduce pollution (though of course that would be welcomed as a by-product) as to reduce the number of cars coming in to central London. Making more cars exempt from the charge would only increase levels of congestion and traffic.

Furthermore, there are concerns that the capital’s bad air quality would be made worse if more low-CO2 cars were allowed into the zone for free. In particular, concerns centre around diesel engines – which the large majority of non-hybrid cars with low emissions have – as they emit other kinds of air pollutants which are known to be harmful.

Public support for a change in the rules has not been overwhelming, with only half of those taking part in an online survey by What Car? magazine agreeing that exemptions should be based on carbon emissions, not technology.
