So lets remove the congestion charge extension and - hey presto - have even worse traffic congestion. Sounds like a great plan for business. Essential deliveries will take even longer to reach their destination and no doubt will actually cost businesses more in lost time and wasted fuel.
It's a car park already, it'll just turn into a long-stay car park.
I reckon business related vehicles should get a cheaper CC rate, and private ones should get a more expensive rate, to discourage unecessary car use. Most things like 3 seater sofas get delivered by the shop's lorry because a golf just won't cut the mustard for things that big. So you don't need to drive to the shop. IKEA is not within the congestion zone either.
