Susan Hall, the Conservative mayoral candidate, said: “Promises are worthless from the man who has been dishonest with Londoners about his plans to tax drivers.Conservative mayoral candidate Susan Hall says the mayor’s promises are ‘worthless’“He has spent £150 million building the technology for pay per mile, and now wants us to believe he won’t use it.
“The mayor has now put in writing to the TfL commissioner his clear pledge to London: no pay-per-mile scheme will be introduced while he is mayor.” “Whilst Greens absolutely support action to reduce air pollution, the mayor’s current scheme has a lot of unfairness built into it. I would work to tackle this.
