Rescue London seeks better congestion management for London, the abolishing of the congestion charge , better and cheaper public transport combined with more car friendly policies, and more and cheaper parking in and bordering London to allow the economy to flourish and the choice of good and services that London is famous for to grow.

We are not aligned to any political party and never will be.

  • We are now seeking support from those who believe in the aims we champion.
  • We are in the process of setting up a small secretariat to increase awareness of the need to encourage moves by central and local government, politicians and the private sector to better meet London’s needs, and get the message across to the policy makers and the media so that change takes place.
  • The economy, businesses of every size and the consumers of goods and services suffer badly at present due to transport policies, the Congestion Charge scheme and anti-car legislation. Cheaper and more suitable public transport is needed, as is facilitating car use when the alternatives don’t allow meeting needs.
  • Public transport needs the competition of private vehicles to keep prices down. There should be many more and far cheaper car parks in and bordering central London and on the ring roads at public transport hubs to encourage far more park and ride.
  • We will be lobbying the Treasury and local Boroughs. Subsidies and tax concessions need to be provided to encourage the amount of parking available, to free up the roads for public transport and private vehicles for those who can’t conveniently use public transport.
  • We support lower pollution and the oil industries efforts to minimise emissions.
