Nevertheless.....

Some conservatives are still Conservatives!
For ten years, the roads entering Leeds from the South were spanned by gantries carrying all the different forms of vehicle identification technology.
Leeds was the test-bed and proving ground for the technology used by Red Ken to fleece Londoners trying to drive his deliberately sclerotic streets.
Leeds had a Labour council, and it was only a matter of time before they introduced rip-off charging to Leeds.

Two years ago the Conservatives joined an alliance taking over Leeds; today I travelled the roads South of Leeds for the first time in three months.

Where the apparatus was, there are now holes in the ground, except where the holes have been filled in.
Looks like the Leeds road charging scheme has finally been scrapped.
