Abstract

The key principles of the scheme confirmed by Livingstone and implemented by TfL are essentially those of the ROCOL area licensing scheme (ROCOL, 2000). Indeed, in his decision to confirm the Scheme Order, in February 2002, Livingstone stated ‘ the ROCOL working party, reporting in 2000, concluded that a system such as I am now proposing would be effective’ (GLA, 2002). Much of the detail of the scheme is defined in the Scheme Order (TfL, 2001), and changes to those elements can only be made after formal consultation.
