Map shows where Oxford's congestion charge is proposed

Drivers in Oxford are bracing themselves for a London-style congestion charge zone if plans go ahead.
The university city could soon charge drivers for entering six congestion hotspots in a bid to reduce traffic.
Motorists would pay a £5 daily congestion charge to access the city centre, which will operate during peak traffic times.
It aims to reduce traffic, making bus journeys faster and more reliable, allowing new bus routes, making cycling and walking safer and reducing air pollution, Oxford County Council said.
However, the congestion zone would only run temporarily until the council can launch its camera-operated traffic filters in 2026.
The council said traffic levels and congestion 'in and around Oxford are high.'
Residents are asked to comment on the proposal as part of a consultation, which opens on June 23 for six weeks.
If given the go-ahead, the Oxford zone would be the first one to launch in 20 years after congestion charges in London and Durham.
The plan has been controversial from the start, with some locals fearing it could be bad for business.
An anti-congestion charge petition spearheaded by independent councillor Saj Malik has reached almost 10,000 signatures.
Local taxi driver Ansar Hussain, 52, said the charge is 'a bad idea.'
'They say it is an environmental measure, but eventually all vehicles will be hybrid anyway so I think they are just trying to cash in,' he said.
'Look at London. If I didn't have the cab, I wouldn't go to London because of ULEZ. If a passenger wants to go, it will be so expensive.'
The Oxford Conservatives said: 'Many people rely on their cars and local Conservatives are calling on the Liberal Democrats to scrap these plans and stop penalising road users and local businesses, who will be hit hard by these changes.'
The congestion charge would only apply to cars once a day.
Community health and care workers, carers, Blue Badge holders and mobile traders can get a permit, allowing them to pass through the zone without paying the charge.
Here are the charging points in operation every day of the week between 7am and 7pm: Hythe Bridge Street
St Cross Road
St Clements Street
St Clements Street
The following charging points will be operational Monday to Saturday between 7am-9pm and 3pm-6pm. Marston Ferry Road
Hollow Way
Meanwhile, Dan Roisier, 41, from Oxford and the owner of a bike-themed Peloton coffee shop, backed the idea.
He said: 'I think people who are against it often don't live in the city. I mean, the Lib Dems got a majority on the council with those measures.
'I cycle to work. I don't like a city full of cars. But they should have invested more in public transport before bringing it in.'
People reacted to the announcement on social media, and some were not impressed with the plan.
Simon said: 'Fleecing cash strapped families who rely on cars.'
Heather said: 'Ridiculous!'
Will said: 'Shock! The consultation is just ticking a box. It will happen regardless you mark my words.' More Trending
Richard wrote: 'Just get on with it!'
The London congestion charge zone was launched in 2003 during Ken Livingstone's mayoralship.
But it was Durham leading the way, with a congestion charge introduced in October 2002 – the first-ever in the UK.
The London congestion charge, which applies in central London, is set to rise from £15 to £18 next year.

Who needs a city car when you can rent a golf buggy?

The brains behind the Yo-Go buggies is Samuel Bailey. The automotive engineer wanted to give Londoners an alternative to the expensive electric car and found the answer in China, where the buggies are built by a company called Marshell. Each has a small 5kWh battery powering a 4kW electric motor and giving a range of 30 miles. Charging is via London's lamp-post network or a roof-mounted solar panel, which, after a day's sunshine, can provide a six-mile top-up. However, for all its clever electronics, a Yo-Go buggy is still a golf cart, right? In fact, the vehicle is homologated for UK roads, so it's now classified as an L6e quadricycle. Its body has been redesigned, too, to make it more practical and weatherproof. Even so, my fear of being the laughing stock of the capital's road users is not helped by the sight of my test buggy awaiting me at Yo-Go's Parsons Green parking spot. The small vehicle looks only a couple of rungs up the evolutionary ladder from the rickshaws that clog London's West End. And what city needs yet another electric 'personal mobility' solution? My scepticism isn't helped by the buggy's questionable weather protection, its basic plastic interior (although the two seats look comfortable) and its twin rear-mounted boots, which can't be locked. At least the foot pedals marked 'Stop' and 'Go' appear to be foolproof and, save for indicators and a windscreen wiper, there are few extras to distract the inexperienced driver. Driving the buggy is just a case of 'unlocking' it, belting up, selecting D for drive and pressing the Go pedal. Thanks to its low weight, the buggy surges forward effortlessly; helped by fairly aggressive brake regen, it stops easily too. Independent front suspension absorbs the worst of the area's battered roads, and although the buggy is narrow, its track is just wide enough to clear speed cushions.

How MOT Check is empowering first-time drivers across the UK

MOT Check, a London-based online MOT information service founded by Connor Evans in 2024, is a fresh player in the UK automotive market that has already achieved thousands of daily users thanks to its comprehensive toolkit. The company has been especially successful in helping first-time drivers safely get on the road by effectively conveying the importance of timely background MOT checks for those who are looking to purchase their first vehicle. 'The UK is sadly known for its bad vehicle sales practices, with many sellers providing insufficient or downright incorrect MOT information to get a better deal. This isn't something we can overlook — in some cases, people buy cars that are heavily damaged without ever realizing it, and that can lead to very costly repairs at best and terrible road accidents at worst. Inexperienced drivers often fall victim to these scams, which is why we find this audience highly important to protect — hence, our detailed and convenient database,' says Connor Evans, CEO of MOTCheck. MOT Check functions as a website that offers drivers the ability to enter their vehicle's registration number to quickly get an in-depth report on its MOT history, technical information, taxes, and more. This way any driver can quickly estimate if the vehicle they are about to purchase is indeed in good condition and if it had any issues in the past that need to be addressed. 'There are lots of areas that newcomers aren't properly aware of. For example, a vehicle that is known to have been in use by a company is much more likely to have a significantly higher mileage. Its condition is generally worse as well. There are many things that people who are only starting their journey as licensed drivers need to understand to ensure safety for everyone and avoid extra costs or fines,' says Connor Evans. This is why MOT Check doesn't simply analyze multiple official sources and reliable third-party services — the resulting report also contains helpful tips that enable drivers to get a full picture of what their car's MOT history means. 'Raw data is only as good as you can understand it, and our goal was to ensure that we don't just provide it with no context. It is easier, sure, but modern users are accustomed to an entirely different level of convenience in every other industry, so we believe that we have to attain it as well. Our reports aren't just comprehensive: they are analytical and we ensure that anyone can understand the true meaning behind the data, regardless of their expertise in the field. We are proud to say that our systems provide the most inclusive and accessible results in the local market,' says Connor Evans. As Evans adds, the team behind MOT Check currently works hard on increasing their algorithms' capabilities in order to provide even more information in a convenient way. The company is also focused on delivering new helpful features that will be particularly useful for first-time drivers, such as SMS notifications and email reminders for timely checks. 'We are a new and highly motivated team, so our hands are always busy, but we are happy to use all of our expertise to ensure that the UK's roads and the automotive market in general become friendlier and more understandable for everyone. We have gathered all of this information and spent years working in the niche so that everyone else can get our knowledge in a matter of seconds — this is what the future holds,' says Evans.

Cars and steps do not mix: why The Italian Job has a lot to answer for

The 1969 caper The Italian Job spawned a Hollywood remake, helped drive the cool-factor of the Mini and launched decades of dad-jokes about bloody doors being blown off. It may also have inspired one driver who got stuck trying to travel down the Spanish Steps in Rome this week. The film ended with Michael Caine teetering on the edge of a cliff in a coach, claiming to have a 'great idea'. In Rome, the 80-year-old's navigational error on his way to work ended with emergency services having to bring in a crane to winch his vehicle off the Italian capital's landmark. But it is not only in Rome where steps, or indeed navigational issues, can create havoc for drivers. In the slightly less celebrated surrounds of north London's Maitland Park estate, residents have been complaining about drivers getting their cars stuck trying to rehash one of the film's most famous scenes by driving down a small flight of steps. According to the Camden New Journal, five cars met their match on the five concrete steps within the space of a month last year, with some of the drivers reportedly blaming their satnav apps for leading them there. One resident, Aron Kennedy, posted online about the phenomenon, which he referred to as a 'new Camden tourist attraction along with Karl Marx'. He told the paper: 'If it happens one more time I think we might have to get a living statue of a car stuck there permanently.' In Plymouth in 2017, it was reported that a driver turned off a road, through the gap in railings at a pedestrian crossing, across the pavement and through a covered walkway leading under a block of flats and a small supermarket, before parking the silver Vauxhall Corsa facing downwards on a flight of steps. All because the satnav had reportedly said to turn left at Tesco. And so many lorries have got stuck following their satnavs down a narrow country lane in Cornwall that one man reportedly paid £150 for a large yellow sign that read, in block capitals: 'Do not follow satnav. This route is unsuitable. You will get stuck.' According to a local newspaper report last month, this was not enough to stop it happening yet again. In Somerset, by a 6ft-wide lane, stands a house that has reportedly sustained £50,000 of damage over several years of HGV drivers trying to force their way past while following directions on their devices. And those are just domestic tales of driving woe. Driving when abroad can be particularly confusing. Guardian readers have been sharing some of their own experiences. Otieno Okatch said he and his wife, from California, rented a car in Switzerland during the annual Fasnacht celebrations. 'One day, we ended up in downtown Lucerne and got lost. The streets were oddly empty. We turned the corner and had inadvertently entered the city Fasnacht parade. We were mortified. A police escort had to help us get out as thousands stared at the two foreigners.' Anand Ranganathan, also from California, told of an experience when he and his wife were in Arles, France while touring the country about 14 years ago. Forced by hefty mobile roaming charges to follow printed-out Google Maps directions to their hotel, they were sent down a 'one-lane road that had a retractable bollard in the middle of it'. He said: 'Only drivers who had a special code were allowed to go through it ... Of course, we didn't realise this until we got close to the bollard. Now we were stuck. There was a line of cars behind us and a bollard in front of us … The cars behind us were honking, the driver immediately behind us was cursing us in well-considered French, and I was standing there gesticulating to indicate that I was but a lost tourist.' To stairs in London and Devon, narrow lanes in Cornwall and Bouches-du-Rhône, add for one driver: a picturesque flight of steps in the heart of the Italian capital.
