Love it.

So TFL paid for their own survey and Boris made them do it anyway - Brilliant.

Also unlike the Prime Minister Boris was elected into his role.

In fact - more people voted for Boris than voted for Gordon Brown.

Boris for PM.

Dave St Peters, London Tahn,

I had an idea about 7 months ago. I left the UK got a crew position on a sailing yacht of 60ft as 1st mate/relief Captain. I flew back2the UK recently covered 2000 miles in 2 wks spent 350GBP on fuel and after all that I realised where i would rather be, at the end of a dock in Palm Beach. 27 C 2day

Cities were built for people NOT cars. 3000 people are killed by cars every year in the UK and 30,000 are seriously injured. If this number of soldiers were killed or wounded in Iraq we would have given up a long time ago and admiited defeat. For some reason death by car just doesn t count in the UK

The planned abolition of the western extension is great news for me (I live in it). It is one of the reasons I voted for Boris (the only candidate who had a chance to unseat Mr Livingstone.
TfL has a vested interested in the Congestion Charge. Good on Boris for telling them to get lost.

Dori, London, UK

Now all we need is to get the other part of the congestion zone scrapped.

Paul Farmer, LONDON, uk

Unbelievable. Boris - this is a big mistake. The C charge may not be popular, but politicians should be able to rise above that and do the right thing. Congestion in London is terrible, and shelving plans to effectively deal with this without other measures put in place is madness.
Backwards again.

Richard Atkins, London,

There's a principle at stake here. You should not have to pay twice for the same service. Roads are funded through taxes. their use should therefore not be double charged.

Richard L, Chesterfield, UK

Ask the people what they want and then implement it. Seems a good idea. Why not try it, Mr Brown? 'Europe,' comes to mind for starters.

GK, London,

If you don't like the sound of traffic when you walk down the street, why on earth do you live in the capital city - I suggest you move to the country if it's that much of an issue for you!

Alex, London,

Bus services will get worse, partly because of the return of the traffic chaos and partly the loss of revenue. Truly the Tories are on track to return to Thatcher's days, when they did little to disguise their contempt for the non-car user, instead favouring the me-first, road-space-greedy motorist.

Barry, Wallington, UK

What a shame! Can't you extend the zone to Clapham? Then I could pay for the year and drive into work in the City every morning rather than having to face the tube! Would be ideal.

Tom, London,

I am so pleased to get the 30,000 cars a day back. I was finding the drop in noise, as I walk down the street, quite disturbing.

GK, London,

TFL has not lost £70m per year. It was not TFL's money in the first place but ours. You could argue that commuters will save £70m per year as a result of this.

Sean, Surrey, UK

Well done Mr Johnson. A politician that listens to the people they represent is something of a rareity and you should be held up as a shining example. Keep up the good work.

James, Battersea,

we clearly said that we did not want the charge, this is a good thing as it represents the wishes of local residents in Westminster

Phil, London,

Well done Mayor

-I had forgotten what democracy felt like-

Ben, London, England

Great work Boris! In addition to sorting out traffic light phasing you might like to consider removing traffic islands intended to prevent illegal right turns. These 'well intentioned' devices simply create bottle necks (& prevent cyclists / motorcyclists legitimately filtering) - use a camera.

NS, London,

Why cant East Londoners get to vote on the rest of it too?
Boris seems to be looking after the conservative voter base not London. I drive from east to west everyday and the journey has become much longer due to STUPID road layouts (Aldgate Gyratory), roadworks and oneway systems.

Overtaxed Driver, London, UK

So.. TFL income drops, more cars on the road, tube fares up.

So that's more pollution and an even more expensive public transport network. What a forward thinking policy.. How does Boris plan to cut CO2 in the capital with ideas like this?

Owen, London, UK

Fantastic, why can't all politicians follow his example?

George, London, UK

This is novel - a politician listening to and acting on public opinion. Good for Boris.

Chris, Ashford. Middx, England

That's very refreshing - a politician runs for office on a manifesto and then takes steps to implement it. Reviewing the congestion charging zone and allowing motorcycles to use bus lanes were both policies in the election campaign, and now Mayor Boris has delivered on them. Good on him.

GW, London,

This is why I voted for Boris
