London: The Mayor of London, Ken Livingstone, has confirmed that the British capital's congestion charge will rise from £5 to £8 this summer in a highly unpopular move which has sparked accusations that he is turning the toll into a ``cash cow''. Mr. Livingstone announced he was pressing ahead with the increase on July 4, despite overwhelming opposition in a consultation. He admitted that 75 per cent of public respondents opposed the rise, as did ``the great majority'' of organisations, businesses and stakeholders — including many of his staunchest allies in introducing the charge two years ago. — © Guardian Newspapers Limited 2004
