The extension - launched in February - has altered traffic patterns, directing more vehicles around the boundary, say London Assembly Conservatives.

Assembly member Bob Blackman - whose Brent & Harrow constituency borders the extension - said more than six in 10 respondents to the survey of 344 people believed traffic in their road had increased.

Six in 10 respondents living on the boundary said they needed to drive into the zone to visit doctors, dentists or hospital.

Nearly nine in 10 of these said they would have "great difficulty" travelling to an alternative outside the zone.

The Conservatives also said a Transport for London report showed pollution had increased in the zone. But TfL said the Tories had misunderstood its study, adding: "TfL carries out research based on real traffic levels, not subjective perceptions."
