In response to TFL's announcement about increasing the congestion charge to bring it more in line with inflation, David Leam, Head of Infrastructure at business group London First, said:

“We continue to support the charge and accept that it may need to rise to manage worsening congestion. But it remains a blunt instrument.

“Fundamentally, London's roads lack the capacity to meet demand. So in parallel with more investment and better day-to-day management, London will need more sophisticated road pricing if we want to keep the capital moving.”
