OK, for the last three weeks there have been people in yellow bibs sitting at various junctions around Hammersmith Bridge, Barnes and Roehampton. Does anyone know what these people are doing? I would imagine it’s a census of some kind but I would really like to know what for. Maybe it’s Ken thinking about extending the Congestion Zone again [sigh].
I’ve seen them in Camden on Kentish Town road by the tube station and on the Waterloo Bridge this morning as well…
No idea what they’re doing though. Friends of mine in Edinburgh were paid to go and sit by the road and count cars when they were thinking of bringing in a congestion charge there- could be something similar? (I know the congestion charge already covers the Waterloo Bridge).
I’ve noticed them around Grosvenor Road and Chelsea Embankment as well … no idea what they are doing either, other then sitting around with their clipboards looking official.
