In the zone

Sir: A normally reliable friend of mine who lives in Kensington tells me that, contrary to what Anthony Browne suggests (Politics, 3 March), she and her well-heeled fellow residents have benefited enormously from the enlargement of the congestion charge zone. Instead of paying £8 per day for the privilege, now for a mere £4 per week they can drive around the very centre of London to their heart’s content.
