| | Edinburgh Evening News - London poll fuels city road toll fears (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01) |
 | | A survey of London businesses, including caterers, security firms, hotels and taxis, revealed most claimed road tolls had led to a slump in their profits. |
 | | The London Chamber of Commerce found 74 per cent of firms said their takings were down by between ten and 15 per cent - and nearly 60 per cent of these said that the fall was either "all" or "mostly" due to the congestion charge. |
 | | But Edinburgh transport leader, Councillor Andrew Burns, said he was surprised at the London Chamber of Commerce findings, and quoted another recent survey, by business organisation London First, which showed three per cent of firms thought congestion charging had not worked. |
