Tony Arbour - Tax
Conservative Member for South West London

The Cost of Ken
Livingstone's taxes have almost trebled in eight years. Ken Livingstone has increased his share of the Council tax by a massive 153% since he first became Mayor. In 2000 the cost of Ken was £123 to Band 'D' council tax payers. It is likely to be £311 in 2008, an increase of almost £190.

Tony Arbour says: "Labour and the Liberal Democrats have consistently voted against Conservative proposals to cut Ken's taxes. Richmond and Kingston need a Conservative Mayor and Assembly to keep taxes down."

No More Congestion Zones
Not only has Livingstone increased the cost of the congestion charge but the central London congestion zone is creeping ever further outward. This is putting increased pressure on roads immediately outside the zone and

damaging London's business community within the zone. In addition recent figures show that there is no reduction in traffic congestion. Tony says: " There must be no further extension of the congestion zone, including around Heathrow airport."

Resist Olympic Tax Increases
London Olympics are set to cost the city an extra £300m and borough residents will feel the squeeze. Tony says: "I and my Conservative colleagues will resist this further imposition."
