BBC LONDON 94.9FM & ONLINE LONDON TV


Congestion? Get it off your chest with BBC London - on radio, on tv and online


BBC London has all the information you'll need to understand the new congestion charge in London.


Whether you simply want to know how to register and what the congestion zone area is, or you have a specific query about your car and whether it qualifies, BBC London's online site at www.bbc.co.uk/congestion will tell you.


You'll get maps, registration forms, a list of all the shops and petrol stations where you can buy your charge, together with guidelines on how to pay.


There's also a dedicated congestion charge message board and our congestion charge clinic will answer any queries you may have.


Like or loathe the new charge? BBC London 94.9FM's Jon Gaunt will be taking your calls throughout congestion charge week, beginning with breakfast on Monday 17 February from 6.00 to 9.00am.


Throughout the week Jon will be gauging your views on the new charge and its effectiveness on his regular show from 9.00am until noon.


He'll be holding to account those responsible for the Congestion Charge - from Transport for London's Derek Turner to London's Mayor, Ken Livingstone.


Regular traffic reports feature every 15 minutes in peaktime (breakfast and drivetime) on BBC London 94.9FM.


Jen Topping, BBC London's own congestion charge expert, will be on BBC London TV News and 94.9FM at 11.00am every day with advice to help you survive the charge plus news and queries.


BBC London reporters will be out and about the congestion charge zone, vox-popping Londoners, whilst transport correspondent Andrew Winstanley will file specialist reports across the three media, throughout the day.


BBC London 94.9FM will also be providing simulcast travel reports for BBC Radio Five Live in the London area, throughout the first day of the new congestion charge, on Monday 17 February.


So join congest-Jen and the BBC London team on BBC London 94.9FM radio, on television with BBC London News and online at www.bbc.co.uk/congestion.



All the BBC's digital services are now available on Freeview, the new free-to-view digital terrestrial television service, as well as on satellite and cable.
