[edit] maps

I'll speak to the TfL team about the copyright on the map - the new m,ap is too detailed but the previous version was the right size for this purpose.

[edit] should Emission Related Congestion Charging be included in the London LEZ page?

it seems to me that there is a difference of opinion on this. Whilst the LEZ and ERCCs consultations are managed by the same Director at TfL the two are not relatd and there is no link between noxious and greenhouse emissions. ERCCs is not part of the LEZ Scheme Order.

No it isn't directly part of the same scheme, but they have a relation as part of the Mayor's environmental strategy. As this is mentioned on the London congestion charge page briefly to give readers a wider perspective, having some background provides a brief context for the reader.

Hi Regan 123

help me out here - my email correspondence is from Nick Fairholme, Head of the LEZ team at TfL and his numbers come from reports from VOSA, who are managing the test centres where the LEC tests are carried out - how can this be included? if it would be helpful I'll forward you the email, Gordon Lowattboy (talk) 10:59, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

ps I'm Head of Policy at the Freight Transport Association so correspondence with TfL is formal rather than private, G Lowattboy (talk) 11:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

WP:RS & WP:V means we cannot use emails like this, unless it appears in a reliable, 3rd party source. If TfL published it or a reliable news source did, then we can link to it. Sorry for the delay in replying. I'm not very well at the moment. Regan123 (talk) 17:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SUV

We do not have "SUV"s in the UK. As I understand it, american-style "SUV"s are significantly different from European/UK 4x4s so this is totally misleading. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.86.166.160 (talk) 03:09, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

SUVs are referred to in one of the sources as are 4x4s. I have therefore added the later but kept the former. Regan123 (talk) 13:14, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
