Porsche has won the legal battle against the increase in the London congestion charge. The proposed congestion charge that was the brainchild of former London Mayor, Ken Livingstone, would have seen the increase of the daily levy to enter the city’s center from £8 to £25 in October.
Boris Johnson, Mayor of London since the beginning of May, was never a supporter of Livingstone‘s plans as he publicly stated that the £25 congestion charge was wrong and quite possibly even unlawful. The agreement also included the award of legal costs, however Porsche said that it will donate these costs (expected to be a six-figure sum), to the British youth charity, Skidz.
