New congestion charge in Kensington

About 50 people have shown up for a protest march about the extension of the congestion charge into Kensington, BBC London has just confirmed.

Is anyone out there and seen it? They're staging a mock funeral march, apparently, and there's going to be a New Orleans-style jazz band - saddos like me will think of the opening sequence of "Live and Let Die" immediately. It's to symbolise the death of small business in the area, and the Federation of Small Business is involved.

I'm not convinced it'll stop the extension - particularly if the report that only 50 people have turned up is true. Any eyewitnesses who can confirm or challenge those numbers, please feel free to get in touch.
